Habitat

"Janet and her mother Margaret both live on Mapleview Lanes--the perfect neighbourhood with the perfect neighbours, until Lewis Chance buys a house on their street to open a group home for troubled adolescents. Raine, unable to respond emotionally when her mother dies, finds herself at this group home, in a community that has little tolerance for its newest residents. The ensuing battle--over whether the group home stays or not--allows Raine to reawaken her emotions through rage, and a political will she didn't know existed in her."-- back cover.
