Throw Away Teen — Shannon Kennedy

She's disposable...and she knows it. A survivor of too many foster homes, B.J. Larson is content living at the youth center where your status is determined by how long your arrest record is. And hers is lengthy. Then she's placed in a home in the small town of Stewart Falls, Washington -- with foster parents who will “love” her, not just the money the state pays for her care. Yeah, right! B.J.'s not stone stupid. She knows a scam when she sees one. Kids like her never get “real homes,” much less “real families.” She learned a long time ago that adults can't be trusted. Besides, B.J.'s too smart to take chances. And isn't love the biggest risk of all?
