Description of Playing Solitaire by Nancy Antle on Amazon - Rainbowheart's suggestion:

- "Grade 6-9 - Ellie will be starting ninth grade in the fall, in the small Oklahoma town where she now lives with her grandfather. Her mother has died of brain cancer, and her father has done something so despicable that she vows to kill him if she ever sees him again. To pass the time, and to console herself, the teen plays solitaire. Though there are numerous hints, it is not until almost the middle of the book that readers learn that in a drunken rage, her father cut off part of three of her fingers with his hunting knife. Ellie's hatred and fear of him consume her thoughts, but a blossoming friendship with a neighborhood boy, an adopted dog, and a caring grandfather help her to heal emotionally. ..."
