YA
In her third outing, Alice MacLeod is joining the work force (as a waitress, outdoor hiking guide, retail clerk, and playwright), bringing her now-familiar combination of impaired social skills and sharp observations to the professional (not!) world. Added to this mix: her mother is in jail and her boyfriend is in Scotland. Fans won't be disappointed.
