Young Adult
It's hard finding beauty in the badlands of Washokey,
Wyoming, but 14-year-old Grace Carpenter knows it's not her
mother's pageant obsessions, or the cowboy dances adored by
her small-town classmates. True beauty is wild-girl Mandarin
Ramey: 17, shameless and utterly carefree. Grace would give
anything to be like Mandarin. When they're united for a project, they form an unlikely,
explosive friendship, packed with nights spent
skinny-dipping in the canal, liberating the town's
animal-head trophies, and searching for someplace magic.
Grace plays along when Mandarin suggests they run away
together. Blame it on the crazy-making wildwinds plaguing
their badlands town. Because all too soon, Grace discovers Mandarin's unique
beauty hides a girl who's troubled, broken, and even
dangerous. And no matter how hard Grace fights to keep the
magic, no friendship can withstand betrayal.
