(3) YA Christy's father died when she was eight, leaving her with a negligent mother and a violent brother. Now seventeen, Christy feels alive only when she's tailing the cars that speed away from her hometown of Flint, Michigan. Jones unflinchingly introduces heavy topics of incest, child abuse, and drugs, laying bare Christy's emotions.
