Summary

Left on his own after his family disintegrates, an Appalachian teen stumbles toward adulthood with the odds stacked against him and no real assets. Boone tries to do the right thing, but his anger and insecurity get in the way. He keeps at it, though, learns who he can count on and who he can’t, and finds help in the most unexpected places. Boone is left struggling to come to terms with what just tore his family apart and the guilt he still feels about what happened to his brother Frankie. And to top it all, he sees the parts of his father that he hates most in some of his own thoughts and actions.

With no one in his small farming community to turn to except maybe the old man who lives up the road, Boone’s options are limited. School is a waste of time, his money is almost gone, and if there’s one thing his daddy taught him, it’s not to trust anybody.
