From award-winning author Billie Livingston, an unsparing book of success and devotion that's sharp, intense and amusing even if it's breaking your heart. The kid of 2 people, 16-year -old Sammie Bell constantly prided himself on knowing the rating. However now she sees himself backed right into a corner. Following a hustle gone dangerously wrong, her mother, Marlene, is slipping into an abyss of intoxicating despair, spending her nights daydreaming loudly about death--an objective Sammie is lured to simply help her achieve. Terrified by the benefit of this, Sammie packs a bag and leaves her mom to her personal devices. With her father missing for action, she's nowhere else togo however the house of a buddy with 2 parents who appear to really enjoy their child and one another--and who awkwardly attempt to prolong some semblance of household to Sammie.
