Her older brother is sometimes wonderful, sometimes gross, and he's her only hope of getting out. J's world is one of nail polish, above-ground pools, and drive-thrus--and of violence, carelessness, and so many rules. J covets the peace that comes when she slips on her headphones, turns on her handheld radio, and dreams of how she and her brother can make their escape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen her brother leaves home and disappears, so does J's best chance to flee her parents' chaotic orbit.

As she stumbles into adulthood with no template to follow, J must figure out how to build a family for herself full of the love she deserves.
