Now, 15 years later, she\u2019s returning to see her dying mother, and, unavoidably, confront her painful past. Back then, she was poor\u2014she shared a bedroom in a trailer with her brother\u2014and reclusive; she didn\u2019t come alive until she met Sissy, a rich and rambunctious classmate. They were soon joined by Morrison, a queer punk rock kid, and their dysfunctional little family was complete. From shoplifting in department stores to hanging out in gay bars, Sissy offers fun in technicolor, but it comes at a price: possessiveness, dramatic mood swings, and ultimately violence. But it isn\u2019t until she\u2019s at college in Georgia that Michelle begins to understand how much of her youth Sissy destroyed, and how little of it she\u2019ll ever get back. The surprising ending\u2014with some extraordinary revelations\u2014is downright healing. And while there is criminal behavior, it\u2019s on the sidelines of the story, never at the center. <strong>A wonderful tale about the power of friendship to transcend evil that young adults should also appreciate.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michelle Miller finally got herself out of Lorida, Florida on a swimming scholarship and never looked back.
