Nowhere to Run

Emily has a stepmother that makes the Wicked Witch of the West look like an amateur. Nothing Emily does is enough. The rules keep changing. She ends up being used as unpaid help (more things she has to do than the average teenager.)

Emily is an excellent drummer and is on the Droids band but even that is threatened by the stepmother. Emily confides to Elizabeth but things get a lot worse for her anyhow. Meanwhile the twin's mother is having some problems of her own.

In desperation Emily decides to run away although she's really not prepared for all that entails.

The book gives the reader a good idea of the types of problems a young person can encounter if a marriage fails and then there's a new marriage that will take a lot of getting used to. The step-relations can turn out okay but, as in this case, they can go way off the rails.
