(2) YA Seventeen-year-old Del is running away--actually, driving away--from the latest in a string of foster homes. She's barely left before she finds herself stuck in a massive all-day traffic jam. Alternating chapters contain a one-woman play about a traffic jam written and performed by a twenty-five-year-old Del. The two voices mesh neatly; the story is moving--and given its static setting, that's quite an achievement.
