Girls Like Us



Quincy and Biddy are both graduating from high school.  They are both special education students whose home lives are dismal or nonexistent.  They are put together as roommates and given assistance in finding jobs.  Due to a horrible incident Biddy is quite timid and hides behind her size.  Quincy is disfigured but quite capable.  Can the two girls learn to get along and make their way in the world overcoming their difficulties and finding joy again?

Powerful, powerful book.  Definitely too mature for my students but I loved it.
