Growing up as a bona fide tomboy in the shadow of her
fashionable, ladylike mother, Bobbie lives for three things: cars,
music, and time with her uncomplicated, mechanic dad. She doesn't
need much in the way of friends. Her best girlfriends are on the
radio—women with names like Aretha, Janis, and Diana. And she
loves the cool logic of working on engines—the simple joy of
finding the part that doesn't work, of fixing what's broken. But
what's broken beneath the shiny facade of her family is something
beyond Bobbie's control, a shattering secret that tears her family
apart and sends Bobbie into a spiral of anger and defiance that she
finds echoed only in the electric pain of rock 'n' roll.
Moving
from school to school as a Professional New Kid and all-around loner,
Bobbie wonders if she'll ever fit in anywhere, especially as
uncomfortable new feelings begin to surface. Shunned by her peers,
abandoned by her disapproving mother, Bobbie finds herself drawn to
her sympathetic English teacher, Agatha Claraday. It is her
undeniable attraction to the lovely, enigmatic Agatha that changes
everything and starts Bobbie on a life-altering odyssey of
self-discovery—from the Dark Side of the Moon to My Little
Secret and beyond—on a redemptive search for love, for a place
in the world, and for a space within that feels like home...where
becoming Bobbie means everything about being herself.
