By Ruth on May 29, 2013 in blog tour, book, giveaway, young adult

Blurb:

Sam is a fifteen-year-old drug orphan living with her custodial grandmother who is stricken with late-stage Alzheimer’s. She struggles to fill the role of caregiver to her grandmother while keeping her little family a secret from the authorities who would send Gamma to a state facility and Sam to foster care. Just because her life isn’t hard enough, there are still boys to have crushes on, essays to write for horrible English teachers, and a squad full of bullies to torment her on a daily basis.

The cover caught my eye, and the blurb sounds very interesting. I like the reversal of the caregiver relationship so the kid becomes the one keeping it all together. Sounds like a great read.
