Torn Away by Jennifer Brown
Jersey is 16, and lives with her mother, stepfather, and pre-school aged little sister, Marin. One day, just before school was out for the year, Jersey's mother took Marin to dance class, and a horrible hurricane hit. Jersey lost her house while she was in the basement. Two days later, her stepfather found her, and informed her that the tornado took her mother and sister from her.
As if this isn't bad enough, no one seems to want Jersey. She really has no one to take her in, until the most unlikely people do.
This was a gut wrenching, realistic novel about loss.
