Small Damages by Beth Kephart

This book is gorgeous and lyrical. I don't come across of lot of YA books with the themes that are in this one, which were about how mutable the idea of home and family can be. There's also a wonderful relationship between the main character, a teenager, and a much older woman, which resonated with me a lot because since I was a child I have always looked to the older women in my life for their stories, wisdom, and talents.
