Paperback.
Twelve-year-old Liberty’s parents are divorcing, and her father is in freefall—suffering from depression, refusing help. She’s worried she’s going to follow his same path and doesn’t know what the divorce means for her relationship with either of her parents. Her little sister won’t go outside. The other kids in middle school are obsessed with fake weddings and boyfriends, but Liberty is going to change the way we look at the night sky. Most people see the old constellations, the things they’ve been told to see. But Liberty sees new patterns, pictures, and possibilities. With everything that’s happening, Liberty feels like her whole world is falling from space. Can she map a new life for herself and her family before they spin too far out of reach?
