Touching Snow (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781442417359)

This M. Sindy Felin's National Book Award finalist is a powerful debut novel about fourteen-year-old Karina's struggle to save her family--and herself--from her abusive stepfather.

Karina has plenty to worry about on the last day of seventh grade: finding three Ds and a C on her report card again, getting laughed at by everyone again, being sent to the principal--again. But she's too busy dodging the fists of her stepfather and looking out for her sisters to deal with school. This is the story of a young girl coming of age amidst the violent waters that run just beneath the surface of suburbia--a story that has the courage to ask: How far will you go to protect the ones you love?
