A powerful and disturbing look at the downward spiral of despair that remains too common for too many teens (School Library Journal).”

Her street name is Maybe. She lives with a tribe of homeless teens—runaways and throwaways, kids who have no place to go other than the cold city streets, and no family except for one another. Abused, abandoned, and forgotten, they struggle against weather, hunger, and constant danger.

With the frigid winds of January comes a new girl: Tears, a twelve-year-old whose mother doesn’t believe her husband is abusive. As the other kids start to disappear—victims of violence, addiction, and exposure—Maybe tries to help Tears get off the streets…if it’s not already too late."A true-to-life novel that should hold strong appeal for teen readers--and help keep them off the streets."—Bookpage
