(2) YA A botched armed robbery set up by a duplicitous boyfriend lands sixteen-year-old Dallas in the Girls' Rehabilitation Center. Dallas's problems with her emotionally distant father, a single parent, are well realized, and the other girls at the rehab center are individualized and realistically portrayed in this novel that is tentatively optimistic, yet grounded, in its resolution.
