Tish's journal is private and personal--and you won't be able to put it down. Tish writes candidly, and privately, about taking care of her brother, living on-and-off with her violent father, and coping with her irresponsible mother--until finally, she realizes that Mrs. Dunphrey, her new English teacher, might just be her only hope. An ALA Best Book for Young Adults.

"The cream that rises to the top in this teen problem novel is Tish herself, a strong character with independence and grit."

Kirkus, 09/01/1996

"...Tish's narration is genuinely touching in its increasing desperation....The peeking-into-a-life appeal of the journal format combined with the realism of Tish's plight will satisfy readers looking for high drama with a gritty edge."

Deborah Stevenson, Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, January 1997
