A very lovely coming of age story, centering on Dottie, a child of divorced parents. The story is told in a series of nearly 100 vignettes, each of which is filled with wit and vulnerability. During the course of the novel, Dottie struggles with moving, poverty, an alcoholic stepfather, questioning her sexuality, race relations, playing sports, and her relationship with her mother, half-brother, and stepsister. Her character exhibits amazing grace and presence of mind as she continually questions the world around her.
  
Jacobia "Jake" Tiptree has moved to Maine and bought a fixer upper in an attempt to get away from the rat race. But it doesn't quite work out when she finds a dead man in her house and her best friend confesses to the murder. The book starts out very slowly, but as I went along, it did begin to get better.
