(3) YA Caustic journal entries, dated from April 1973 to August 1974, record Kristin's observations on family, school, and friends, while increasingly referring to her "ghost" of a brother, who came home from Vietnam physically and mentally damaged. Kristin can be funny and cruel--often simultaneously--but the real pull is witnessing how she works to make sense of the tragedy that "broke [her] family into a million little pieces."
Reviewer: Christine M. Heppermann
