"Born too late"

Louise never thought of herself as anything special. Just another girl in a town that didn't care much for girls like her-except she had three brothers and their gang of greasers watching her back. But then there was Dallas Winston. Dally. A reckless, sharp-edged boy who never took orders from anyone. He was her first crush, the kind that lingered no matter how long it had been. The others treated her like a kid, someone too soft for their world. But when Dallas-the toughest hoodlum of them all-started looking at her differently, that's when the real trouble began.
