Split 
by Swati Avasthi
Sixteen year old Jace has less than $4.00 in his pocket, a busted face, and not much else, unless you count a long list of memories he'd really rather forget. After a marathon drive from Chicago to New Mexico, Jace has finally arrived at the only place he could think of to go, the only place where he might be safe: his brother's house. The only problem is, Jace hasn't seen his brother in five years, much less talked to him, so he doesn't know if Christian will even take him in. He'll definitely be turned away if Christian finds out what happened to make Jace leave town, which meansit's time to start lying...
Split is a compelling look at a family ruined by domestic violence, but it is also a rewarding book about trust, healing, and how two brothers learn to live life for themselves.

I could have used a better plan. Hit Dad back and see what happens.
Didn't work.
Did get me thrown out though.
So with Chicago gone and Albuquerque ahead, there are 1300 miles to freak:
What was I thinking? Will my brother let me in? Will I ever eat good pizza again? When will it stop? What was I thinking?!
What happens now that I'm out?
Two brothers, both escaping the same terrible home. One left first, the other needs his help to survive. What will they do?
Find out in the terrible, violent, heart-breaking book: Split.
