A fascinating portrait of a courageous 13-year-old girl coming of age who is forced to reinvent herself & reimagine her future. Evie Thomas once had a best friend, a happy home & a loving grandmother living nearby. Once her name was Toswiah. Now, everything is different. Her family has had to leave Colorado & change their identities in the witness protection program. Her defeated father spends his days sitting at the window. Her mother has suddenly found religion. And her sister is making plans to leave. Evie finds herself in a city where the kids aren’t friendly & the terrain is as unfamiliar as her name. It seems like she has nothing to hold on to anymore as she struggles to figure out who she is. A National Book Award Finalist.
