Description:
Tessa Ramsey spent years searching desperately for ways to make her father pay attention to her. At first, it was his career as a surgeon that kept him away from home. Now that he's returned from the war in Vietnam, he's more shell-shocked and distant than ever; in fact, he might be suffering from a nervous breakdown. Just when Tessa's father needs her the most, an older boy in town begins to pay attention to her. It's been so long since she has been noticed by anyone that Caleb's regard feels delicious and invigorating. But Tessa is so desperate for attention that she is oblivious to warning signs that all is not right with Caleb. Alone and more in need of her father's guidance than ever, Tessa could be putting herself in danger with the boy. Searching for Atticus is a provocative story of people's search for love and connection. Jan Marino offers a painful, cautionary, but ultimately hopeful glimpse into how family dynamics help shape a teen's understanding of herself and her place in the world.
