From the author:Con and Sophie, the brother-sister duo of this story, are dear to my heart. They stand for the countless children in families marginalized by addiction and generational trauma who are smart, strong, beautiful, loyal, and loving. May we treat them well.

Awards: A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection 2023
From the publisher: Stories make Sofie feel safe, from the books she checks out from the library so that her mom can’t sell them to the stories she tells herself. . . Moranville’s lyrical, intimate prose explores the generational ripple effects of addiction and the unbreakable bonds of family as Sofie searches for hope in the most important story: her own.
