In Girlbomb as the book progresses, Jan finds it harder to live at the shelter. The girls in the shelter are all mean to her and exclude her because of her skin color. Her and her only friend roxanne are nervous there not going to find a home after there time is up at the shelter. Not only is Jan getting into trouble but she is struggeling alot with fitting in and keeping up her school work at school. She wants to quit school and move somewhere far away. Her mother doesn't want Jan to come back anymore because she has failed to contact her mother and come home.
This part of the book makes me wonder why she doesn't go home and try to work things out with her mom. Even though she doesn't like her moms husband she still has a better life at her house than at the shelter.
"Well I have to find something siib, U'm past thirty days here. They could throw me out anytime." Jan thinks the nuns at the shelter will throw her out because she has been there for so long. She wants to live on her own, as an adult since thats what she has had to be, an adult for most of her life.
