Teeth Marks

Description

With electrifying precision, Rose Moxham captures the spirit of a boy on the brink of manhood, trying to determine who he is going to be and what life has to offer him. The wind felt perilous. Nick didn't bother with the brakes. He let the steep incline carry him down. The dogs were free, barking and running after him. They loved him, even if Jude didn't. When Nick heads west with his best mate Robbie, he expects to make some money and have some fun. He doesn't expect to fall for Jude or her rockabilly songs; he doesn't expect her to bite so hard; and he certainly doesn't expect to have his secret desires exposed by the strange people in the orthopedics ward. It's not easy being adrift. There are signs that you misread, or don't even see coming.
