(3) YA Thirteen-year-old Serenity is carrying a heavy burden of family secrets, including the circumstances of her mother's death. The truth slowly unfolds as she and her younger brother, Danny, learn to separate themselves from their parents' legacy of abuse. Watson's cast of supportive African American community members is effectively drawn and the story includes many well-wrought emotional moments.
