BOOK BLURB
Fragnut. Confused? Well so is everyone
else at Lumiere Hall Prep when sixteen-year-old Rubie Keane rolls in from
Trinidad and Tobago talking her weird lingo. Not that she minds the culture
confusion; she's determined to leave the past behind her and be overlooked—but
a certain stoic blue blood is equally as determined to foil her plans.
Gil Stromeyer's offbeat personality initially makes Rubie second-guess
his sanity, but she suspects his erratic outbursts of violence mask a deeper
issue in his troubled, charmed life. Despite his disturbing behavior, a gradual
bond forms between the two. However, on the night of the annual Stromeyer gala,
events unfold that leave Rubie stripped of her dignity and kick Gil's already
fragile world off its axis.
Both their well-kept secrets are uncovered, but Gil's revelation proves
that sometimes the best remedy for a bad case of lost identity, is a dash of
comradery from an ally packed with flavor.
