Lu can't wait to leave Kentucky. She and her friend Ginny are just biding their time (mostly drinking and driving to parties) until graduation, when Lu plans to hit the road while Ginny heads to the local university. Pregnancy, a car accident, and first love change everything. Lu's narration provides a convincing portrait of an unhappy teen coming to terms with her life and moving on.
