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 doesnt need much in the way
of friends. Her best girlfriends are on the radiowomen with names like
Aretha, Janis, and Diana. And she loves the cool logic of working on
enginesthe simple joy of finding the part that doesnt work, of fixing
whats broken. But whats broken beneath the shiny façade of her family
is something beyond Bobbies 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 shell 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 homewhere becoming Bobbie means everything about being
herself.
