YA
Kate shows up on her estranged, famous artist father's doorstep hoping for a place to stay while attending art school. But he's harshly unreceptive to her efforts--and dying of cirrhosis. Eventually dropping out to care for Dad full-time, Kate reconnects with him. The relationship between the two is so strained that it's not entirely believable when they finally come together.
