(2) YA In a novel set in a colorfully realized 1970s South, thirteen-year-old Memphis's life is one long battle with her mentally handicapped aunt Clover, and when Clover takes off one day, Memphis is blamed. As tensions rise, Memphis's grandmother reveals a longstanding resentment toward Memphis that tears apart the bonds of family obligation.
