(2) YA Fifteen-year-old Kady, who first earned the trust of her mentally disabled neighbor by gently drawing him out, now feels as trapped by young Rooster's worship as she does by her hardworking parents and their orange grove. A wealthy boy with marijuana offers escape--until an accident wakes her up. Each of the characters' distinct personalities and relationships are delineated by their actions in this well-crafted novel.
