Suddenly Rural Girl’s protagonist is a conflicted teen wrestling with faith and friendship after her father dies and her family moves to a new town–and this neighbor boy is both intriguing and repulsive.
Jackson stepped out like a shadow. He was as dirty and di-
sheveled as ever, standing silently with his palms up helplessly, but he displayed neither shock nor fear.
Neither the boy nor his home received much care:
Jackson opened his car door and climbed out. The Redrickson porch was falling off. Old equipment and
brown bottles were strewn through the yard, and the dog Hunter was chained up and barking his head off—just one more unwelcoming thing to greet you. Nothing appears to be cared for—including the teenage boy who called this home.
And it often seemed like it was only going to get worse for him.
I kept the reins taut, and Eyeballs pivoted three hundred and sixty degrees until all three of us circled back around and looked at Jackson’s distorted face again. It was impossible to tell where the blood was coming from, but
his face and forearms were covered in it.
