CLEANING UP

Jess's dad - unemployed and off the wagon yet agan - has moved the two of them out of the city into a decrepit tent and trailer. Jess wavers between anger at her father and fear that poverty and addiction may be her fate, too, and she decides she will do whatever it takes to avoid it.

To save money for college, Jess gets a gig cleaning a gorgeous country home and discovers the trashed bedroom of the teenaged daughter, Quinn.
Jess wonders how a girl with a perfect life - private school, horseback riding, expensive clothes - could have wrecked such a beautiful room. As she cleans, she nds troubling clues, including a diary.

When she learns that Quinn's life is not what it's supposed to be, Jess imagines the two of them becoming friends. But when she begins to write herself into Quinn's diary, she risks turning her back on the opportunities that are right in front of her -- new friends, new interests, a fresh beginning.
