Sandinista Jones is a
high school senior with a punk rock name and a broken heart. The death
of her single mother has left Sandinista alone in the world, subject to
the random vulnerability of everyday life. When the school system lets
her down, her grief and instability intensify, and she ponders a violent
act of revenge.
Still, in the midst of her crisis, she gets a job at The Pale
Circus, a funky vintage clothing shop, and finds friendship and
camaraderie with her coworker, a boy struggling with his own secrets.
Even as Sandinista sees the failures of those with power and
authority, she's offered the chance to survive through the redemptive
power of friendship. Now she must choose between faith and forgiveness
or violence and vengeance.

released for another 10 months.

I just recently got a copy of this book and I can't wait to read it. I have heard such good things about it.
