It's a good story, very readable, and the multiple perspectives are great. Definitely deserves its award and should be at the top of every young adults list.

Cathy, who gave birth to Danny when she was sixteen years old, is shown to be a loving and caring person. After she and her son suffer prolonged abuse from her boyfriend, Chris, Cathy often worries about how Danny has been affected by what he was forced to go through. Cathy's father resented her for her teenage pregnancy, and extended his anger towards Danny after he was born. Part of this anger is also based on his racial prejudice.
