Andria’s comments from the What's the Name of That Book??? group.

Pandora By Holly Hollander, maybe?

You're welcome! happy to help.

You're welcome! I'll move this to solved and add the book to our shelves for you. :)

Possibly the 18 Pine St series? The series was "created" by Walter Dean Myers but individual titles by different authors.

TAKING SIDES is one.

Also: Winter's End by Moulevat (sp?)

And additional titles by Anne-laure Bondoux
(Killer's Tears, Time of Miracles)

Apologies for mistakes to titles/ authors' names, I'm on the mobile app and going from memory!

Has anyone said Erebos by Ursula Poznaski?

With My Knife - for the GR link to the book bkl suggested.

Did you read it relatively recently? If so, it could be The Best Night of Your (Pathetic) Life

The Worldly Adventures of a Teen-age Tycoon?

Kind of a long shot, but possibly Mad Elaine?

Woo-hoo!

It does, doesn't it? Also, according to WorldCat it was first published in 1965. I'll have to edit the GR record when I get a minute.

Edit -- or right now. I'm feeling obsessive, why wait? ;)

Middleworld, maybe?

Hmmm, perhaps Master Entrick: An Adventure 1754-1756

here's a review I found online: "Robert Entrick is a somewhat soft, spoiled boy living in England when his world is turned upside down. He is kidnapped while on his way home, sold by his kidnappers, given a new name, put onboard a ship headed for America and forced to become an indentured servant upon his arrival. Not confident enough to bolt when he has a chance, Robert is alone in a country about which he knows very little. The friends he made on the ship have tried to make contact, to help him, but the plan falls through and Robert soon has far more important things to worry about - like survival!
His new master, Calvin, is in debt and flees to the west to escape debt collectors, dragging Robert and Calvin's wife, Agatha, into Indian country, where the trio's relationship changes as danger and survival draw them closer. While they are stopped at a fort, Robert helps a young Indian escape certain death at the hands of the men of the fort. This act of kindness will shape the remainder of his life in ways he couldn't possibly foresee."

Ah! I knew the tollbooth accident rang a bell. It is from She's Come Undone.

Sounds like I Never Promised You a Rose Garden

In the book, Anterrabae, or the Falling God, is the most powerful being in the Kingdom of Yr, a world that the MC created as a defense against reality.

This Stranger, My Father fits some of the things you've described, but I *think* they're being chased by the Feds, not a hitman.

After?

I agree with Liralen. Skin starts out exactly as described.

Sounds like Second Chance by Jane Green
