Hopkins shifts the point of view from meth-user Kristina to her three teenage kids; it's a brilliant tactic that shows just how deeply others are affected by a single person's addiction. Before it's over, the three kids-Hunter, Autumn and Summer- will experience anger, longing, loneliness, drugs, pregnancy, homelessness, and even, believe it or not, hope. Hopkins' free-verse stanzas are as engaging as always. An emotional, satisfying end ( and a new beginning, in a way) to Kristina's story. ( Booklist-July 2010)
