Cardboard Castles

"I am my father's daughter, and I am terrified of that fact." Seventeen-year-old Josilyn is the city’s rumored Cardboard Princess. Living in a crumbling cardboard castle under the park bridge and struggling to care for her mentally ill father, Josilyn’s life has been anything but regal since her mother’s death. But when a former friend discovers Josilyn's secret and leads Child Protective Services directly to her, her father’s visions of dragons and dark knights become the least of Josilyn’s problems. Now separated from her father and terrified for his safety, Josilyn begins to see the world of his imagination for the first time, forcing her to consider the possibility that he’s not insane, and that someone may be desperate to see her father dead—and her in chains. In a stunning twist of reality, survival may not be a matter of sanity, but who to trust, and who to kill.
