Winter's Bone by Daniel Woorell

I am falling even more in love with Goodreads.com the more my friends discover it and we get connected. It opens my eyes to new books that sound interesting, and it allows Goodreads to see what interests me to accurately give me suggestions based on the books I have read and rated and the ones that I want to read. Such a nice tool sometimes when I do not have the time to walk around the Library searching for the books that speak to me. I came across this one and wanted to be sure to take the time to share it with you. If you pick it up, let me know what you thought!

"The sheriff's deputy at the front door brings hard news to Ree Dolly. Her father has skipped bail on charges that he ran a crystal meth lab, and the Dollys will lose their house if he doesn't show up for his next court date. Ree's father has disappeared before. The Dolly clan has worked the shadowy side of the law for generations, and arrests (and attempts to avoid them) are part of life in Rathlin Valley. With two young brothers depending on her and a mother who's entered a kind of second childhood, sixteen-year-old Ree knows she has to bring her father back, dead or alive. She has grown up in the harsh poverty of the Ozarks and learns quickly that asking questions of the rough Dolly clan can be a fatal mistake. But along the way to a shocking revelation, Ree discovers unforeseen depths in herself and in a family network that protects its own at any cost."
