(3) YA "Lizzie was my job / And I was hers." In transparent free verse, twelve-year-old Hope narrates the aftermath of her sister Lizzie's near suicide. As she slowly discovers that her family's secrets extend beyond her mother’s prostitution, Hope finds the strength and courage to help both Lizzie and herself. This dark, mature story fully develops its damaged yet sympathetic characters.
