(4) YA Traumatized by her past, her parents' deaths, and an abusive brother, a sixteen-year-old girl who calls herself Leia runs away to the zoo. There she finds refuge, the beginning of a friendship, and a break from her destructive cutting. The relief is short-lived, and there is little resolution in this harrowing (if occasionally confusing) psychological drama.
