Call Me Hope by Gretchen Olson

To the public, Hope Elliot appears as a normal 12-year-old. But at home, she is verbally abused by her mother. She escapes by hiding in her closet-turned-fort and by helping at her local secondhand store, Next to New. Hope grows as she studies the Holocaust at school, and by writing up a point system for her mother's abusive comments, hoping that her mother will magically see the error of her ways.
