YA
Josie's mom had her when she was in high school; Josie's father, Paul, moved away before she was born. Now, sixteen years later, Josie meets Paul and uncovers the truth about why they've never met. Josie's feelings--anger toward her dad; difficulty accepting her mom's new love interest--are genuine throughout. Sensitive and affecting, the novel doesn't shy away from tough issues.
