|  | Highwire Moon by Susan Straight
Through an unfortunate series of events, Elvia and her mother are separated when she is 3 years old. The child is eventually claimed by her father, who means well but isn't exactly sterling parenting material: he can't hold a job, and he's a speed freak. Elvia becomes pregnant at 15 and goes off in search of her mother--who, in her turn, has been searching for Elvia all these years. HIGHWIRE MOON was nominated for a National Book Award in 2001.
