(3) YA Morgan's shoplifting habit began after her mom left her dad for another man, and it ends when she is caught and mandated to do community service at a thrift store. There, Morgan falls for good-guy Eli but is afraid to tell him--and her similarly respectable friends--her dark secret. Morgan's pain, shame, and gradual steps toward recovery are authentically and sensitively portrayed.
