Publisher Description: Fifteen-year-old Kathleen Winters has always been a good girl, trying to please her mother. But now, things are changing. First, there's the new girl, Sybil Langley. Sybil is confident, rebellious, and worldly--everything Kathleen wishes she could be. As Kathleen is drawn under Sybil's spell, she moves closer and closer toward crossing a dangerous line. Then there's Ram n. Kathleen knows it's risky to date an illegal immigrant, but she's never met anyone like Ram n. They fall helplessly in love--but the most beautiful experience of Kathleen's life soon becomes the most catastrophic. Kathleen takes off for Mexico and slowly spirals into drug addiction and chaos. |
