(3) YA Coping with a mentally ill mother is gut-wrenchingly painful for fourteen-year-old Lacey, who dreams of normalcy. Her hopes for a fresh start--after she and Momma both find jobs--are soon dashed when Momma disappears on her first day of work. Williams's writing is fluid and suspenseful, and her portrayal of mental health issues is realistic and poignant.
