(4) YA After years of sexual abuse by her stepfather, Dana runs away from home. She falls in with other runaways in the city who teach her the gritty details of street survival. They eventually get hooked into an arts center for at-risk kids run by a nurturing soul. Dana's saga is heart-rending throughout, making the too-neat ending feel disingenuous.
