Four sisters with different fathers live together, while their mother insists that moving will benefit the family despite their objections.
The story contrasts a chaotic family with a more ordered one, while a six-year-old girl from the apparently conventional family is being mistreated.
Consider whether the treatment of domestic abuse, drug-related death, grief, fighting, pregnancy and child mistreatment suits the reader, particularly given the uncertainty about their detail and emotional intensity.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
Anything not established here remains open; it is not being treated as absent or safe.
