Roar witnesses a terrible car accident in which an illegal immigrant is killed. Her lawyer-turned-organic-farmer father encourages the victim's family to sue the other driver; meanwhile, Roar quietly begins dating the son of the woman who caused the accident. The story, though compelling, is a bit overstuffed. The first-love element will appeal to romantic readers.
