(2) YA Sensory details transport readers to 1970s Birch Park, Alaska. Escaping abuse and neglect, Dora finds a haven in Dumpling's family's fish camp. A few stolen nights with Ray Stevens lands Ruth scared, alone, and pregnant on a bus to Our Lady of Perpetual Sorrow. Four distinct first-person narrative voices breathe life into the adolescent protagonists, whose engaging individual stories are enriched by their intersections.
