(2) YA After her mother leaves, seventeen-year-old Ruby is placed in the care of her sister. Ruby strikes up a tentative friendship with Nate, whose father is abusive. The intricacy of relationships shines in this in-depth exploration of family, trust, and responsibility. The complex, deeply sympathetic characters are pure pleasure to spend time with.
