Tigers, Not Daughters

Tigers, Not Daughters by Samantha Mabry

Text from the back cover:

The Torres sisters dream of escape.  Escape from their needy and despotic widowed father, and from their San Antonio neighborhood, full of old San Antonio families and all the traditions and expectations that go along with them.  In the summer after her senior year of high school, Ana, the oldest sister, falls to her death from her bedroom window.  A year later, her three younger sisters are haunted by their sister's memory.  Their dream of leaving Southtown now seems out of reach.  But then strange things start happening around the house:  mysterious laughter, mysterious shadows, mysterious writing on the walls.  The sisters wonder if Ana is trying to send them a message -- and what exactly she's trying to say.
