Hush

I liked this book written by Jacqueline Woodson. Evie Thomas used to live in a beautiful house with a breathtaking view of the mountains. She felt happy and safe with her policeman father, her schoolteacher mother, and her popular cheerleading older sister. Her name used to be Toswiah Green. Now, her father’s agonizing decision to join the witness protection program has taken Evie’s old life away. She lives in a strange city. Her depressed father stares out the window of their small apartment, while her mother immerses herself ever more deeply into her religious convictions among the Jehovah’s Witnesses.
