Super quickie....
I've seen this book pop up again and again. I finally borrowed it from my library and loved it. The story is told as a child relaying the story of her birth and early life. It starts when she is born in the back of a garage while her parents are hiding from people who want to kill them. They are in a war between two races, they represent one of each. The father is a ram and he's trying to give up his violent ways so that he can live a peaceful life with his new family. The mother, a fairy type, is not willing to give up those ways. She was given orders to watch the ram guy and apparently they fell in love. She is a badass. I love it.
