YA
High school freshman Toby is trying to adjust to his new, fatherless life--mainly by convincing himself that his dad will come home, his older brother's drug use isn't a big deal, and throwing out his mom's American Express bills is a good idea. Though too many issues leave a few plot points dangling, Toby's struggles with his life ring true.
