You Cant There from Her by Todd Strasseris about a group of homeless teenagers in Manhattan who struggle to survive a harsh winters. Maybe (the main character) has to deal with the death of many of her friends during the winter. She lives with a tribe of homeless teens-runaways and throwaways, kids who have no place to go , and no family . They struggle against the cold, hunger, and constant danger. In January come a new girl: Tears, a twelve-year-old whose mother loves her but does not believe Tears when Tears tells her that her stepfather has been sexually abusing her. It becomes Maybe's mission to get tears off the streets. This book does not use the perspective of the family's of the run always, which I thought would be a good addition
It would be a completely different story if they showed the perspective of the parents or even the siblings.It would give a inside look of how hurt or maybe not hurt there family's were about there departure.Or what caused the runaways to run away per say. There would be a insight on there old lives.
If there was a perspective on the familys it would sure make the plot deeper and more emotional . it would also give more time to give each character more back story , and especially more depth.It could show how traumatized the familys were when there children or sibilings left, it could add more meaningful characters into the mix.
