Break This House (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780525556237)

From Printz honoree and National Book Award Finalist Candice Iloh, a prose novel about a teenager reckoning with her family's--and her home town's--secrets.

Yaminah Okar left Obsidian and the wreckage of her family years ago. She and her father have made lives for themselves in Brooklyn. She thinks she's moved on to bigger and better things. She thinks she's finally left behind that city she would rather forget. But when a Facebook message about her estranged mother pierces Yaminah's new bubble, memories of everything that happened before her parents' divorce come roaring back. Now, Yaminah must finally reckon with the truth about her mother and the growing collapse of a place she once called home.
