(2) YA Sarah was only two when her mother submerged her in the kitchen sink--and succeeded in drowning Sarah's twin brother. Mom pled insanity; since then, mental illness has weighed heavily on Sarah. The book is never maudlin, even at the breath-catching climax; most of it is concerned with Sarah trying to live her ordinary middle-school life. A story with extraordinary heart.
