Slits
Teenager Angela wishes she could understand her odd family. Her mother is thornily difficult, her father is harshly distant, and her siblings offer no help, even after a terrible school incident. Struggling with self-injury, Angela’s plight intensifies at a parochial school sheltered within a tight coastal community.

Why are answers so hard to come by? All seems lost until a herd of horses and Angela’s best friend Cali help point to a different way of thinking and believing.

The purpose of assessment is key to the aspects of language targeted in an assessment and the methods used to target these.
