Summary:
"In preschool, Jarrett Krosoczka's teacher asked him to draw his family with a mommy and a daddy. But Jarrett's family was much, much more complicated than that. His mom was an addict, in and out of rehab and in and out of Jarrett's life. His father was a mystery -- Jarrett didn't know where to find him, or even what his name was. Jarrett was living with his grandparents -- two very brash, very loving, very opinionated people who had thought they were through with raising children . . . until Jarrett came along. Now Jarrett's a teenager. He's gone through his childhood trying to make his nonnormal life as normal as possible, finding a way to express himself through art despite the fact that he's grown up in a house where many things have remained unsaid. It's only when he's old enough to have his driver's license that Jarrett can begin to piece together the truth of his family -- reckoning with his mother, tracking down his father, and finding his own identity."-- Provided by publisher.
