Description

Twelve-year-old Georgia Tate wishes she could stay home in Mississippi forever with her preacher granddaddy and her best friend Ginger. After losing her nana to a heart attack, she desperately wishes she could tell her granddaddy why she can't possibly move in with Daddy—about the things he does to her. With a vivid narrative voice, Gigi Amateau tells an unflinching tale for young adults of a sensitive girl caught in the trauma of incestuous abuse. But it is also a story of survival, with an extraordinary cast of characters, underscoring the solace of family, the mercy of strangers, and the possibility of hope and healing. "The story of Georgia Tate is fresh, funny, honest, and brutally painful. I was hooked on the first page and couldn't put the book down until I'd finished. Then I read it again. That's the kind of book this is. You may close it, but you won't ever forget it."—Judy Blume
