Story of a Girl by Sara Zarr

rating: 5 of 5 stars
Deanna Lambert was thirteen when her life changed from good to bad. In a car with her brother's best friend, her dad discovers his little girl is no more. Deanna has a hell of a life since her dad doesn't speak to her anymore- now she is a junior, her brother got a girl pregnant and they live in the family basement with adorable, April and dead end jobs. Deanna has a horrible reputation she has never been able to escape---so what did I learn- Deanna takes a life of lemons and makes it lemonade- she is a girl who wants to escape her life at home for a better life and a nice apartment for her brother. She strives to tackle things deliberately, gets a job and begins to trust HERSELF and be strong, responsible, wanting to do the right things in life and not be like her dad! A great, great book, now I can't wait to read her next one---Sweethearts!
