| Publisher Description: Mel and her mother, Cecily, know what it's like to live rough, whether it's on the streets or in the apartment of an abusive man.When Cecily announces that they've had enough and that they are going to go home to her mother's, Mel dreams of security, a comfortable bed, and a grandmother's love seem to be about to come true. But some mistakes cannot be easily forgiven or erased. Her grandmother is not what Mel expects, and though the local library offers sanctuary, a real home seems beyond her grasp. Mel's determination to rise above what fate has dealt is about to change that. Cyndi Sand-Eveland's work with homeless youth gives her characters an authenticity no reader will forget. Ultimately, a story of hope and acceptance, A Tinfoil Sky is a powerful, can't-putit- down novel. |
