While I was lucky enough to grow up with loving, responsible parents, as an adult I encountered someone like Matt’s mother, Nikki Walsh. Murdoch, his mother’s ex-boyfriend, who maybe can help him get free of his mother-for good. Then, suddenly, there's a possible ally on the horizon. But secretly, inside, he's growing tired and hopeless. Who is their enemy? It’s their mother, Nikki O’Grady Walsh.

Matt has long since put himself in charge of protecting his younger sisters from their enemy. Published by: Originally published by Dial Books/Penguin Random House, current edition by Nancy Werlin.įinalist for both the National Book Award and the LA Times Book Prize.
