(3) YA Seventeen-year-old Frank had five beers, got behind the wheel, and killed two people. Now quadriplegic, he's released from the hospital to resume his life amid public condemnation. Frank's physical vulnerability is perceptively evoked, and while Aronson overemphasizes his "good kid" status, she explores complex issues of justice, responsibility, and quality of life with a minimum of didacticism in this absorbing, resonant novel.
