Laurel Daneau has moved on to a new life, in a new town, but
inside she's still reeling from the loss of her beloved
mother and grandmother after Hurricane Katrina washed away
their home. Laurel's new life is going well, with a new best
friend, a place on the cheerleading squad and T-Boom,
co-captain of the basketball team, for a boyfriend. Yet
Laurel is haunted by voices and memories from her
past.
When T-Boom introduces Laurel to meth, she
immediately falls under its spell, loving the way it erases,
even if only briefly, her past. But as she becomes alienated
from her friends and family, she becomes a shell of her
former self, and longs to be whole again. With help from an
artist named Moses and her friend Kaylee, she's able to
begin to rewrite her story and start to move on from her
addiction.
Incorporating Laurel's bittersweet
memories of life before and during the hurricane, this is a
stunning novel by one of our finest writers. Jacqueline
Woodson's haunting - but ultimately hopeful - story is
beautifully told and one readers will not want to miss.
