Description

"WE WERE DELINQUENTS, JUNKIES, PSYCHOLOGICAL INSTANCES, ORPHANS AND KIDS FROM DAMAGED HOMES."Fifteen-year-old Kate Steiner isn't certain why she's abruptly boarding at an East Coast college for troubled kids, although there's proof that her attorney parents are experiencing marital issues. It's the mid-1970's, and in the modern college where she's arrived, Kate is set up right into a stratified culture inhabited by children who dropped through the cracks.Kate should deal with ethical ambiguities when she finds that Patrick, her first partner, can also be a slide-moving drug-addict. Within the loosening of family ties, and confronted with an inscrutable headmaster, uncommunicative parents and a condemned initial love, Kate makes shadowy passing through her questioning adolescence,finding comfort in a 'soul catcher' dangling inside a geodesic dome constructed by a quirky boy who surprises her with an unforeseen friendship.Praise for worldwide best-seller Katia Lief's novels:"Taut, clean storytelling." --Publishers Weekly"Readers may wish to read more of the gifted author's function." --Ny Diary of Publications
