2007 book 83

Aryn Kyle's The God of Animals
This is the story of a twelve year old girl living on a poor horse farm in Colorado; her older sister has just run off to be married, her mother never gets out of bed, and her father is struggling to make ends meet by selling out. It's a very moving coming of age story that doesn't spare the reader (I'm still reeling from one event near the end) and gets a solid A.
