"Didn't your daddy ever warn ya about hangin' around guys like me?" He didn't. That was the problem, but I knew how bad guys really could be, yet I still went after the baddest, Dallas Winston.

Dallas Winston knew he had a younger sister up in New York with his parents, but when his parents die, and Sophie Winston has to come and live with him, his world turns upside down. Dally always loved his kid sister, but he hasn't seen her in quite a while. The last time he saw her, she was a sweet innocent ten year old. Now she is a boy-hungry, trouble making fourteen year old. Sophie has secrets from her past and wants to keep them hidden. But she's not the only one with secrets in the town of Tulsa. Dally wants to protect her from everyone and everything, but can he protect her from the thing Sophie wants most? Can Dally even protect himself? Can Sophie make it with the reputation as a Winston? Will she be able to survive the unknown horrors of this small town in Oklahoma? All rights to S.E. Hinton.
