(4) YA Almost-seventeen-year-old Rachel travels to San Diego to search for her missing brother, a meth addict; as the day unfolds, she confronts the dangers and destructiveness of drug abuse. The glacial pace allows for compelling flashbacks; detailed descriptions; and musings on relationships, family, choice, God, etc., but may challenge readers to stay engaged. The anti-drug message is delivered with a rather heavy hand.
