Beginning after Keir raped Gigi (Inexcusable), here Keir leaves for far-away Carnegie College on a partial football scholarship; having to prove his toughness reignites Keir's temper and self-aggrandizement. Keir's conversion comes quickly at novel's end when he confronts situations no words can alter. Since readers only hear Keir's promise to change, there's room for discussion about his future and the role of violence in society.
