    [synopsis] => "The story of an entire generation growing up too quickly…impossible to put down until the dramatic and realistic conclusion." - Library Journal, starred review
	 "A brilliant portrait of a small­ town teenage girl, whose secret affair…feels utterly true…a fresh and indelible book." - Joan Silber
	It's 1960 in the Panhandle town of Charnelle, Texas-a year and a half since sixteen-year-old Laura Tate's mother boarded a bus and mysteriously disappeared. Assuming responsibility for the Tate household, Laura cares for her father and three brothers and outwardly maintains a sense of calm. But her balance is upset and the repercussions of her family's struggles are revealed when a chance encounter with a married man leads Laura into a complicated relationship for which she is unprepared. As Kennedy battles Nixon for the White House, Laura must navigate complex emotional terrain and choose whether she, too, will flee Charnelle.
	A heartfelt portrait of a young woman's reckoning with the paradoxes of love-eloquent, tender, and heart-wrenching-K. L. Cook's unforgettable debut novel marks the arrival of a significant new voice in American fiction.
