by Carol Lynch Williams
Lacey lives alone with her mother, and at 13, has far too much to deal with. Her mentally unstable mother isn't able to hold a job, or maintain a relationship, even with her own sister. Lacey's social life has suffered, and she longs for friends and a normal life. When her mom gets a job at the Winn Dixie grocery store, Lacey hopes that maybe this time things will be different. Unfortunately her mom runs away from work and disappears, leading Lacey on a frantic search. This mom is so crazy that you're terrified for Lacey the whole time you're reading. There is definitely suspense to the very end of this short, intense read.
I really like this author, and this was a great book, but I don't think it was as good as The Chosen One. If you like real-life drama, and/or sad stories, this is the book for you.
