YA
Coming to terms with a recent abortion while still holding tight to her ragdoll, sixteen-year-old Cyd is kicked out of her boarding school and eased out of her mother and stepfather's fancy San Francisco home before landing in the Manhattan apartment of the biological father she barely knows. Like its heroine, this coming-of-age story is smart-mouthed and testy, sometimes a little too determinedly hip but ultimately appealing.
