YA
Seventeen-year-old Stetson is determined to graduate high school and escape the dead-end mill town where he lives with his alcoholic father. Stet is shocked by the sudden appearance of fourteen-year-old Kayla--a sister he never knew existed. Their growing relationship is at the core of a fast-paced novel that features strong dialogue and a believable setting--though the plot becomes overcrowded with incident in the final chapters.
