The Story
After her mother died, Memphis Riley's father left her at her grandmother Naomi's house and drove away for good. That was five years ago. Naomi has never been able to forgive Memphis-not for how she arrived, not for being John Riley's daughter, and especially not for fighting with her mentally handicapped aunt, Clover. And then, after the two of them have had their worst fight yet, Clover runs away-and doesn't come home. This time, Memphis isn't just 'in trouble.' She is terrified. 'At once unsettling and inspiring, this memorable novel is as well written and honest as they come.' (School Library Journal, starred review)
