Candace Trumen (Mostly called Tru) has spent her whole life living in Tulsa, Oklahoma. When her mom died of cancer, and her father turns to alcohol for answers, Tru's 7 friends are there to help her along the way, ultimately leading her to the love of her life.
This is a coming of age story. It shows character development, the difficulty of scars, past trauma, and a lot more, but touched a bit lighter.
I absolutely HATE those fanfics that make Johnny's whole personality an innocent bean, or make Steve nothing but a car guy. These characters are worth so much more, so in this story- that's what they are gonna be! Like it or not!
(I'M HORRIBLE WITH DESCRIPTIONS BUT PLEASE GIVE ME A CHANCE)
Madeline Craft. 19. College freshman. Ex-greaser, or so she thought.
When she gets a custody call that her two siblings were seemingly abandoned in their Tulsa home, there's no option: she has to go back. It wasn't ideal, but her little brothers, four-year-old twins Jack and Graham, they needed her more than she needed college. Besides, college would always be there if she could ever go back.
But on a cold day, back at her high school job working at The Dingo, she meets someone that makes anything poor become great.
All rights to SE Hinton besides my additions :)
