(2) YA Set in the early 1980s, Kadohata's novel is narrated by thirteen-year-old Shelby, one of four close-knit sisters who follow their gorgeous but lonely mom from man to man, place to place. When she's critically injured, the girls are sent to live with their fathers; how they survive the split and how Shelby learns about love is a moving story of sisterly bonds.
