Thirteen-year-old Conor Kelman loves Wylina. Next on the list is Sport, an Australian Shepherd mix.
But things are taken away.
Moved around the country like a bag of groceries, he faces heartbreak in a new town with nothing to ease the pain but a pawnshop guitar and the ghost that comes with it.
Coming of age in the 50s—a time when little is known about ADHD, Conor is in a constant state of awkward discomfort. Inwardly, he hangs from a cliff by his fingertips.
His mother relies on God, and his father uses the belt to raise the kid that is different from the others. Despite those who swear he's a spitting image of this dad, Conor entertains thoughts that they aren't his real parents.
It's easy to list those he can't trust. Wylina and Carlos, a kid he's never met, heads the list. Parents and teachers come next. Friends who aren't true friends follow. Perfect brother, Franky is written in pencil because it's moved a lot.
