"I love this book. In gorgeous, compelling verse, High tells the
story of fourteen-year old Ceti's struggle to soar even as she
lives through her mother's life-threatening addiction. Mary
Sullivan has written a beautiful, heartfelt bookI couldn't put it
down." -- Vanessa Diffenbaugh, The Language of Flowers
"Vivid realism reaches impressive heights in this novel in verse."
-- Kirkus Reviews
"Told in verse, Sullivan captures the realistic banter between Will
and Ceti as they debate their favorite soccer stars, the starkly
descriptive images of her mom's drug paraphernalia, and the
desperate pressures this young woman feels. Her coach and other
adults prove the saying "It takes a village," helping Ceti's story
end hopefully. This will appeal to those who appreciate stories
that don't pull any punches." -- Booklist
