Keesha's House
by Helen Frost
Stephie, Jason, Harris, and many others all come to know and appreciate the comfort and love that is shared at Keesha's house. All of the people throughout this book experience pain and heartache in some way or another and find themselves needing a place to stay. Keesha never simply divulges the whereabouts of the house, but allows others the simple pleasure of a bed if that is what they may need at that time. The home is actually owned by Joe, but, over time, the people who come looking for a warm place to stay always ask for Keesha. Stephie realizes she's pregnant in high school, but can't find the words to tell her parents, and her boyfriend Jason, a star athlete, isn't sure he wants to give up his dreams to be a dad. All of the characters in this short novel share something with readers that can help us to learn to connect with one another and appreciate the small things in our own lives.
In strong, poetical form, this book takes readers through the lives of several people, from different perspectives. I would highly recommend this book to an audience of high school age, as there are some topics in here that are not considered appropriate for younger children. It was a fast read, and I honestly could not turn the pages fast enough.
Content Warnings: Mild violence, family issues, mild blood, hints at sexual abuse
