Dirty Laundry: Stories about Family Secrets

181 pp. January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-670-87911-8
(4) YA Eleven original stories by noted young adult authors, including Chris Crutcher and M. E. Kerr, delve into the subject of secrets that threaten to destroy family relationships. The selections include ghost stories and a personal memoir, and the "family secrets" involve topics such as transsexualism, an unwanted pregnancy, and child abuse. Most of the entries are well written, but a few threaten to sink under their own gravitas.
