Preview: Hear it

Rooster has always called Kady his madrina, his godmother. Born in Cuba and braindamaged at birth, Rooster thinks Kady can protect him from all harm. But 15yearold Kady doesnt want to be looking out for Rooster anymore. And she doesnt want to live in a tiny house, wear tacky clothes, or get stuck with endless chores on her familys ever struggling citrus farm. She wants to be with her new boyfriend, Jon, and his golden gang, people with money to burn and all the time in the world to indulge themselves. She doesnt realize, until tragedy strikes, just how much her budding romance costs her. Set in the bellbottomed and tiedyed late 1960s, this richly textured novel has moments of high humor, memorable characters, and resonant dialogue.
