This character driven novel centers on Angel, a very promising young woman on a Philadelphia swim team. But the story is told through the eyes of her younger sister Jeannine and best friend/teammate Alex.

Angel is the main care taker for her family... Her mom, Pic, is always turning to drugs/drinking and is not a good adult for her kids to have in their lives. Their stepdad (dad to one of the younger girls) is not much better. Angel is working toward a better future for herself.
Then one day, Angel disappears.

This was a very sad book. These kids have to live in a rough neighborhood and tough town. They needed better adults in their lives.
