Out of the Shadows — Sue Hines

Ro thinks her family is totally unlike anyone else's. Jodie is afraid of herself. So they spend a long time stepping carefully around the truth, hiding secrets that they know are too terrible to reveal.

These shadows from the past just won't go away, and in a hostile society Ro and Jodie end up with only each other -- and that grab bag of feelings that make up a friendship: love, hate, guilt -- and forgiveness.
