Suddenly, Nick is gone, leaving Alix alone, confused and pregnant. The future looks rosy until the fateful night when Frank Anderson, Nick’s abusive father, is shot to death in his filthy trailer. Through childhood disasters and teenage woes, they cling together as friendship turns to love. Armed with only a tin of bee balm and steely determination, Alix treats the raw evidence of a recent beating that mars his back, an act that changes both their lives forever. But nothing was ordinary about the day she met ten-year-old Nick Anderson, a boy from the wrong side of town.
Sweet tea, corn bread, and soup beans everyday fare for eight-year-old Alix French, the precocious darling of a respected southern family.
