Leaving the Past Jaena Zerner

For a fifteen-year-old girl, Skye Dacing's life is nothing ordinary with her dad leaving a year ago with a little brother to take care of and a mom who turned to partying and alcohol for support and rarely remembers to bring food home for Sam and Roy (her brother) to eat. Sam thinks she found sanctuary with Andre, a boy living a few blocks down, and falls for him until she realizes he isn't what she thinks he is, and when Sam reports Andre, he vows to get revenge, which leads Skye to stand up and face what her life has turned into.
