(3) YA Three sisters try to cope with their father's death and a growing distance from their mother. What sets this book apart is the clear, straightforward writing style and air of melancholy surrounding these flawed characters. When the girls steal their father's ashes and grind them into the pitcher's mound at Camden Yards, their catharsis is palpable.
Reviewer: Elissa Gershowitz
