Astrid is forced into a series of foster homes after her mother is sent to prison for murder. This is a gorgeous coming of age story which examines the meaning of motherhood--though Astrid's mother damages her in many, many ways, she also imbues in her daughter many of the traits that help her to survive her difficult adolescence.
