*** sorry, I posted this in the wrong thread - I've moved it now ***

Hello,

I'm looking for the name of a book I read as a teen. It has a two-word title (I think). The main character is a girl. She and her younger siblings (I think a brother and a sister) are left orphans after a joyrider causes her father to have an accident. He was towing a camper and lost control. Her parents were killed. She and her siblings were separated and she went to an orphanage or a home for troubled youth (?). There she finds out the kid who caused her parents accident is also there. She plots to kill him with a razor blade, but then doesn't. I think she and her siblings were reunited at the end.

A picture on the front of the book was of her with a black (?) car behind her - I assume it was the sports car driving by the kid that caused her parents' accident.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Thanks in advance!
