Footer's mom is bipolar, and sometimes stops taking her meds. When mom blows a snake away with an elephant gun, she gets taken to the hospital in Memphis so she can get better again.
Footer wants to know who set the fire that burned down the Abrams farm and probably killed two kids. She and her friend Peavine are going around investigating. Then Footer starts having visions or flashbacks to the night of the fire, and is afraid she's losing it like her mom.
If you want to know how to write an "issue" novel, you should study this book. It's as sweet as it is worrisome, and Footer is a great character. Nothing is leaned on too heavily, but nothing is brushed over, either.
