*** 2015 IPPY AWARD WINNER *** 2018 WISHING SHELF BOOK AWARD FINALIST *** 2018 INDEPENDENT AUTHOR NETWORK BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD FINALIST "A raw and haunting, coming-of-age novel about a courageous young girl, her tragedy, unique survival skills, and possible divine intervention. A family saga... explores the darkest side of human nature--and the incontrovertible, uplifting power of hope." -Publishers Weekly Growing up in her parents' crazy hippie household on a tiny island off the coast of Boston, Jules's imaginative sense of humor is the weapon she uses to defend against the chaos of her family. Somewhere between routine discipline with horsewhips, gun-waving gambling debt collectors, and LSD-laced breakfast cereal adventures, tragedy strikes a blow from which Jules may never recover. Adversity requires her to find the will to live despite the suffering in her life--and she encounters, in her darkest moments, what could be explained as serendipity or divine intervention. For Jules, this experience offers the hope she needs to come to the rescue of her fractured life. "... a young woman growing up in a dysfunctional family ... shaped by experiences of surviving pain through moments of grace. Yates shows much skill in description, characterization, and dialogue . . . insightful about the mental state of abused children ... vividly evokes time and place. Well-written.". -Kirkus Reviews *** 2015 KINDLE BOOK FESTIVAL FINALIST *** 2015 LEAPFROG PRESS AWARD HONORABLE MENTION
