"You never know where we'll end up. There's so much
possibility in life, you know?" Hallie said. Sean Norwhalt
can read between the lines. He knows Hallie's just dumped
him. He was a perfectly good summer boyfriend, but now she's
off to college, and he's still got another year to go. Her
pep talk about futures and "possibilities" isn't exactly
comforting. Sean's pretty sure he's seen his future and its
"possibilities," and they all look DISPOSABLE. Like the
rental his family moved into when his dad left. Like all the
unwanted filthy old clothes he stuffs into the rag baler at
his thrift-store job. Like everything good he's ever known. The only hopeful possibilities in Sean's life are the Marine
Corps, where no one expected he'd go, and Neecie Albertson,
whom he never expected to care about. Carrie Mesrobian follows her critically acclaimed debut, Sex
& Violence, with another powerful and wrenching portrait of
a teenage boy on the precipice of the new American future.
