Out of the shadows

by Sue Hines

Ro thinks her family is totally unlike anyone else's. Jodie is afraid of herself, so then spend a long time stepping carefully around the truth, hiding secrets that they know are too terrible to reveal. These shadows from the past just won't go away, and in a hostile society Ro and Jodie end up with only each other--and that grab bag of feelings that make up a friendship: Love, hate, guilt--and forgiveness.
