Her dad shuts down completely, and her brother enlists in the army. Things start looking better when her dad is hired to coach at Beacon Prep, home of one of the best basketball teams in the state. In a blog of prose and poetry, Kate chronicles her new world, dating a basketball player, being caught up in a world of idolatry and entitlement, and discovering the perks the inner circle enjoys. Then Kate's fragile life shatters once again when one of her boyfriend's teammates assaults her at a party. Although she knows she should speak out, her dad is vehemently against it and so, like a canary sent into a mine to test toxicity levels and protect miners, Kate alone breathes the poisonous secrets to protect her dad and the team. The once welcoming community has betrayed Kate, her family is disintegrating, and she's on her own to grapple with whether to stay quiet or speak out and expose a town's hero and destroy her father's career. 650 0 $a Children of single parents $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Fathers and daughters $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Acquaintance rape victims $v Juvenile fiction. 655 0 $a Bildungsromans. 941 $a 3 952 $l MGPD463 $d 20180718023358.0 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20170908010409.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20150730011754.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7A37741637E711E4AD0843D4DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
