YA
Thirteen-year-old Shayla is upset about the birth of her new baby half-sister, but her problems seem small next to those of her best friend Kambia, struggling to overcome her abusive past, and her new friend Lemm, who has a drinking problem. Shayla's voice emerges true and is the wellspring of this sequel to When Kambia Elaine Flew in from Neptune.
