Zaina (ajakie) | 3 comments Can you help me find a book I read 10 years ago? It young adult and starts with a teen girl walking in a snow storm and a truck crashes into a ditch and she climbs in to find a popular classmate who’s unconscious and she’s starts thinking back on her childhood. She had an Italian name her mother was a drug addict and there with a meth bust and she goes to live in a foster home while her mom goes to rehab. When the mom gets out she starts dating and Marries the neighbor of the girls foster home. They have a baby and the mom relapses while intoxicated she falls down the stairs holding the baby and the baby dies. They get separated and the teen girls life goes back to being awful. There’s lots of other memories the mom has a horrible best friend that dates a child molester and brings him around her. The main character also works as a waitress. At the end of the book her mother dies and she goes to live with her ex step dad. I’ve never forgotten this book and would love to re read it as an adult. Thank you.

Zaina (ajakie) | 3 comments Thanks, Daisy. I’ll check with the requester. But the protagonist wasn’t a drug addict. Her mother was.
Again, thanks so much.
