White Oleander
by Janet Fitch
Review this book!
Thirteen-year-old Astrid Magnussen has to grow up quickly when her beautiful, mercurial mother murders her lover (with the poison from oleander flowers) and is sentenced to life in prison. Astrid is raised in a series of foster homes--never losing her connection with her dominating and larger-than-life mother. As Astrid learns how to deal with her mother and her foster mothers, she discovers who she really is.

Media Reviews
"A first-rate debut about a teenaged girl's arduous six-year journey of self-discovery."
First Line
The Santa Anas blew in hot from the desert, shriveling the last of the spring grass into whiskers of pale straw.
