I highly recommend this book. Phillips does an excellent job illustrating both the life of a homeless family and Nell's home life which is far from ideal. SPOILER ALERT - In the end, Nell comes to realize that her mother's happiness is not her responsibility. She has worked out a way to tolerate her mother's mood swings. She plans to ride the storm (of living with her mother) out until she is old enough to move out on her own.
