Three of Kristina Snow's children, Hunter, Autumn, and Summer--all raised in different families--alternate the narration in this novel told through Hopkins's trademark poems. Although each struggles against the legacy of Kristina's meth addiction, a sense of support as the siblings find each other provides hopeful opportunities. Somewhat less melodramatic than Crank and Glass, this third volume ties the trilogy up satisfactorily.
