Review # 1 was written on 2017-01-24 00:00:00 Henry Hernandez I've honestly never read anything like it. The descriptions of the heroine's hopes and dreams are so vivid, especially as they are embodied in this room in a house on the street. I love the little old woman who lives there and the dog and the fact that they go to her tennis matches. I wanted to reach into the pages and pull this girl out and take care of her.

Review # 2 was written on 2007-07-17 00:00:00 Katherine Evans At the age of seventeen, Zoe's known for awhile that her mother is far from perfect. An alcoholic pill-popper, she can't even be trusted to make it to work, let alone pay the bills on time. Zoe dreams of escape from her personal hell. One day, the opportunity presents itself to her in the form of a "For Rent" sign in the window of a house on Lorelei Street. Relatively close to her mother's home, Zoe makes a decision - to gather her belongings in a couple of pillowcases and rent the room. After awhile, though, she realizes that her tips as a waitress won't begin to cover her expenses. What lengths will Zoe go to in order to pay her rent? And will she ever make it out of the town that her mother and grandmother reside in? This was a realistic, enjoyable story about what can happen to a family when both parents are alcoholics, and the extended family is in denial.
