the Last Last Fight
​by Sally K Lehman

It’s March 1975 in rural Oregon, and Sammi Hollander is getting ready to run away. She’s planning on bringing her siblings and Mom, too. But first, she has to finish high school, hope a nearby college accepts her, and convince Mom — even when she’s being Psycho Bitch Mom — to leave their doublewide life behind. Most of all, Sammi hopes her abusive father doesn’t come home.
