Book excerpt: Rosemary Watson is a 16-year-old half Dominican and half African American female, spunky, impulsive dreamer, whose fierce deviation to her mother is threatened by Rosemary now living with her father and his live-in girlfriend. Rosemary’s world is surrounded with family lies and secrets, and the fact that her mother is in a mental hospital. Rosemary’s siblings have long accepted their mother's placement in the mental hospital and their current living situation. The fact that Rosemary’s mother could come home at any time leads to Rosemary’s dream that one day her mother can walk through the door and rescue them all. Determined to keep the hope alive of her one day reuniting with her mother, Rosemary schemes up “operation lies and secrets”, a sure-fire plan to expose the people who put her mother in the mental hospital. Just as Rosemary succeeds with step one of her plans, some secrets are revealed and suddenly everything in Rosemary’s world is in question.
