Like her father, Rory's always been an artist; but when her parents separate, her bitter feelings overwhelm her, and she thinks she'll never paint or draw again. The first-person narrative is laden with arresting poetic images, which occasionally seem too sophisticated to be uttered in the voice of a seventh-grader but are beautiful nonetheless.
