Publisher Description

Dealing frankly with the sensitive subject of child abuse, critically acclaimed young adult author Laura Wiess' novel is "tough, darkly humorous, yet achingly vulnerable" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). Fifteen-year-old Meredith hoped to never again see her father, who did something unspeakable to her. But after only three years in jail, he's coming back home-and she's terrified. "Read this novel, and you will be changed forever." -Luanne Rice, best-selling author

" I LOVED this book. It's so raw and feeling, it's something that I wouldn't have the guts to write, but I want to write. I loved Meredith, and the strained relationship of her and Andy. The only problem I had is that her dad getting out early? That would never actually happen. "

    " Its concept is supported by strong writing, well-developed characters and the plot development is speedy but... <br/> <br/>SERIOUSLY LEFT ME FEELING A BIT SCARRED. D: D: D: <br/> <br/>It's the sparse description that somehow made the abuse even more creepy. "
