Lay It on My Heart
By Angela Pneuman
288 pages;
Mariner Books
You think your teenage years were rough? Charmaine Peake is 13 when her father is committed to an asylum for believing himself a prophet. Now she must live with her mother in a cramped trailer and somehow retain her sanity and sense of humor. Biting yet optimistic, this first novel will knock you sideways with its Southern charm and quiet humanity.
