At the heart of it all, there are the three Garrison sisters: Sara, the eldest, a fiery soccer star on the precipice of pulling herself out of the life of poverty she's always known; Elaine, shy and struggling with the weight she carries both physically and mentally; and Rachel, a reader and poet whose imagination stalls at trying to picture a better life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As the Garrisons struggle to communicate with each other, as they battle self-doubts and self-sabotage, they too draw on a fierce shared strength that allows them to push back at the reality that's been handed to them. Each Garrison fights to hold on to their dignity--often through daily acts of grace and good humor, to say nothing of quiet perseverance--and to prove to themselves and each other that they shouldn't be underestimated. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMark Pomeroy\u003c\/b\u003e leads creative writing workshops in Portland Public Schools.
