Alienated from family and school, teenaged Sweet moves into a cabin in the woods inhabited by a young man recently returned from serving in Iraq. He and Sweet both find healing in their shared sanctuary. Readers will appreciate Sweet's clear, defiant voice and her steadfast commitment to her own truth. Johnson's latest is loosely tied to The First Part Last and Heaven.
