True Confessions of a Heartless Girl

181 pp. | Farrar/Kroupa | March, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-374-37806-1 $$16.00
(1) YA Seventeen-year-old Noreen, whose tough childhood has left her unloved and unloving, is pregnant and feuding with her boyfriend. Brooks also explores the lives of two other women--seventy-six-year-old Dolores and thirty-six-year-old Lynda--and situations involving birth and mothers and daughters. This sophisticated novel may provide a transition for readers intrigued by, but not quite ready for, the adult shelves.
