OLDER FICTION
(4) YA Sixteen-year-old Sadie Rose, sheltered within the home of the prominent Worthingtons, is determined to uncover the truth behind her mother's mysterious death. Vivid descriptions of a rural Prohibition-era Minnesota town round out a suspenseful page-turner containing flashbacks of an early childhood spent in a brothel under the care of a mother forced into prostitution. Realistic portrayals are wrapped up in a conveniently contrived conclusion.
