    <![CDATA[&lt;h4&gt;&lt;center&gt; Angel Morgan's family is falling apart. &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; <p> Her daddy is in jail, and her mother has abandoned Angel and her little brother, Bernie, at their great-grandmother's crumbling Vermont farmhouse. Grandma spends most of her time wrapped in a blanket by the wood stove. </p> <p> There is one bright spot in Angel's world -- a mysterious stranger who teaches Angel all about the stars and planets and constellations. Carving out a new life proves harder than Angel ever imagined. But she feels a tiny spark of hope when she remembers what the stranger said -- that she is made of the same stuff as stars. </p>]]>

I thought the main character handled things pretty well, considering her age and what she faced, the book could have gone deeper than it did though.]]></body>
