(3) 4-6 In this sequel to The Year of the Sawdust Man, Nissa is now thirteen and living with her father and new stepmother in depression-era Louisiana. But her unconventional, britches-wearing mother, who walked out on them, wants Nissa to live with her in Chicago. In an evenly paced and thoughtful first-person narrative, Nissa finds a balance between her new family, her mother, and the prejudices of her small-town neighbors.
