(2) YA Fifteen-year-old America has just tried, unsuccessfully, to kill himself. Flashback chapters take readers through the heart-wrenching, nightmarish events of America's childhood, while alternating chapters follow his therapy sessions with Dr. B. The story is deeply disturbing, but readers will stick with it, wanting desperately to witness a happy outcome for the fully rounded, compelling protagonist.
