Lullabies for Little Criminals by Heather O'neill
Forced into foster care and starved of affection, Baby is attracted to all the wrong people and is even sent to a juvenile detention centre because of her father. Poised on the threshold between childhood and adult life, she is bright, funny, observant and ultimately wise enough to realize that salvation rests in her hands alone.
