YA
This novel offers piercing snapshots of the struggles of three urban high school girls and the threat of school violence. Trina flits by Dominique; Dominique takes it the wrong way, vowing to fight Trina; Leticia witnesses it all. The fight goes down, and readers are left to wonder what might have been had Leticia intervened. An intriguing setup with a provocative conclusion.
