When Alison Hayes walks into her storm-darkened trailer the afternoon of her 16th birthday, she has no idea that it will be the beginning of a year like no other. Her mother has lost her job again, the most stable man they've ever had in their lives is looking for the nearest exit, and her best friend is dating the prom queen. She can't remember the last time anything good had happened to her. If the rails still passed through town, she would definitely be on the wrong side, always looking across to everyone else, it seems, who has it so much better than she. Dirty. Trash. The words have followed her through her life in her tattered, rust-stained jeans. She longs to understand her mother - who is lost and broken, driven by her addictions, by her losses - and to reconcile the memory of Mother before with Mother now. In the chaos of their one acre in the world, Alison strives for sanity, forging a path through the wreckage into the light. She is alone and must learn to stand alone, or she will be swept by the same undercurrents of self-defeat that took her mother so many years ago. During this worst of times, she discovers her own strength and determination and a powerful drive to do something better.

I want to say, I recommended this book to our high school librarian yesterday and it has been ordered.
A book of fiction that is so well written the listener will feel if they are listening to someones memoir. The characters come to life and you either love or hate most of them. I kept my fingers crossed and hoping the young protagonist would overcome the hand she was dealt. I will look for more from this author.
The narration was well done.The characters were well portrayed. Jennifer Reilly brought each character off of the page and into the world.

It is a heart-wrenching story that follows the struggles of a bright teenager that dares to dream. But her life is not made for dreams. Day after day the reality chips away at her resolution to become "better". She has to be the adult in a household where abuses, physical and mental, are accepted as inevitable. The desire to put her trust in other people that should be there for her, is overwhelming and always destined to bring disappointment. How strong do you need to be before crumbling in self-pity, in self-destruction? How much does the strength of your character inspire others to want to help you reach your goal? How much of that help are you willing to sacrifice for not accepting other people's pity? Alison has to answer all of these questions and more, before she can accept that fate can be changed. A wonderful reading and well-narrated audiobook. Highly recommended.

Listening to the audio version was a pleasure. I loved the calm and clear voice of the reader, and she was good with different voices and situations. I normally prefer the audio version of a book, and this time I didn't regret it!
