Summary:
Suspended from school and prone to rages, twelve year old Kate finds her own way to get on with her life, despite the messed up adults around her. Her gran, for one, is stubborn and aloof not unlike Kate herself, who has no friends, and who's been expelled for "behavioral issues," like the meltdowns she has had ever since her mom dumped her with her grandmother. Kate dreams that one day her mother will return for her. When that happens, they'll need money, so Kate sets out to make some.
