Kendra’s mom was only 14 when she had Kendra. Then she left Kendra with Kendra’s grandmother and went on with her life. Now Kendra is 14, and her grandmother wants her mother to start acting like a mother --- especially when Kendra starts getting in trouble with boys.

Kendra isn’t sure she has anything to say to her mom --- not after all these years. But when her trouble turns serious, where else can she turn?

As she did in her debut novel, TYRELL, Coe Booth gets into the head of a teen trying to find her place in the world --- even though nothing (not family, not friendship, not sex, not love) is what it’s supposed to be.
