Shark Teeth

Sherri Winston

After returning from foster care, twelve-year-old Sharkita fears being separated again from her younger sister, Lilli, and her developmentally disabled brother, Lamar. When their mother disappears for days, Kita takes on cooking, bills, cleaning, and childcare while also coping with her mother’s abuse. Her love of baton twirling and support from her coach offer a break from these pressures. One evening out with friends leads to a disastrous situation at home.
