"What Comes After" by Steve Watkins--The Pick of the Week from 60second Recap®

[Books for teens ... of all ages.™ http://www.60secondpicks.com]

Iris Wight has it rough. Her father's dead. Her best friend's family has decided they can't keep her. Alone and hurting, Iris ends up at horrible Aunt Sue's where her only solace is the goats ... and even those, Iris discovers, can be taken from her in an instant. The first half of "What Comes After" is a particularly tough read, but Iris is a compelling protagonist whose falling-apart life still has moments of pure beauty—and welcome humor. You won't be able to put this book down until you're sure that Iris has found her way—which, through sheer determination (and some unexpected allies) Iris actually does.
