Jacqueline Woodson shows us the brutally honest life of a teen drug addict. Laurel faced the tragic wrath of Hurricane Katrina by losing her mother and beloved grandmother. The pain of losing family and her home mixed with a drug dealing boyfriend leads her down the road to meth addiction. Many respects to Woodson for tackling this difficult subject and bringing a sympathetic, yet realistic depiction of a young person's struggle with meth.
