Fifteen-year-old Pert Wilson longs for something more than the tiny community she's always known. Her circle of trailer park neighbors and her supportive mother and older brother aren't enough for Pert; she is lonesome for the father she has never met. But when Daddy suddenly returns to Kinship and sets Pert's neighborhood spinning, Pert is forced to reassess her concepts of home, loyalty, family, and kin. An ALA Best Book for Young Adults.
