Darkness Before Dawn, Volume 3 by Sharon M. Draper

4.0

Third in the Hazelwood High trilogy.

Keisha, getting ready to give a speech at graduation, reflects on the trials and triumphs of her senior year. She and her classmates have seen and experienced a lot--death, abuse, divorce, homelessness, rape, abandonment, anorexia, and love. Whew! No kidding, it's all in there!

The drama is a bit over the top, but teens who enjoy page-turners will not be able to put this one down. Reading the first two books will make this one richer, but it can also stand on its own.
