(3) YA Though sisters Rosie and Skate are close in age, they couldn't be more different, especially in their approaches to dealing with their father's alcoholism and incarceration. Rosie believes Dad can change; Skate has given up hope. Over the course of Bauman's quietly riveting novel, the girls' daily lives ebb and flow with a captivating rhythm. Ancillary characters provide a memorable supporting cast.
