Summary:
"Twelve-year-old Trace Reynolds has always looked up to his older brother, mostly because Will has never looked down on him. It was Will who taught Trace to ride a bike, watched sports on TV with him, and cheered him on at Little League. But when Will was knocked out cold during a football game, resulting in a brain injury--everything changed. Now, almost a year and half later, his parents have divorced and their family is still living under the weight of 'the incident,' which left Will with a facial tic, severe depression, and an anger he cannot always control. As Will struggles with an addiction to pain medication, he's more withdrawn, ditching school, and even stealing. Afraid of further fracturing his family, Trace begins to cover for Will. Even though Will has become someone Trace barely recognizes, Trace only wants to help his brother. But as the lies pile up, he begins to understand that some secrets should not be kept."-- Provided by publisher.
