Inhaltsangabe

What if the Person You Love the Most, Is the One Who Hurts You the Most? Sixteen-year-old June Taylor, raised Jehovah's Witness, homeschools in the Arkansas countryside. Her mother's moods and rages keep the whole family doing The Eggshell Walk. June finds solace and sanctuary in her clapping tree, her work as a McDonald's cashier, and with Grits, the neighbor's sweet yellow lab. June's world explodes when she accepts a forbidden date and her mother leaves. June is willing to sacrifice it all to win her mother back. But when June meets Keegan, a young man from a different faith, she will be forced to question everything she holds dear-including loyalty to her mother.
