(4) YA After years of physical and emotional abuse at her (white) stepmother's hands, biracial June finally snaps, resulting in a shocking tragedy. This weighty problem novel doesn't exactly break new ground, but alternating "Before" and "After" chapters effectively chronicle both a child's silence about the abuse she suffers and a young adult's continuing struggle to come to terms with her past.
