The Town That's Torn In Two

Tulsa, Oklahoma, November 1967: a town carved clean down the middle. On the West Side, the grass is always greener, the streets are always clean, and the Socs live like socialites with better clothes, better cars, and better lives. On the East Side, rundown buildings lean under broken window panes, dead cars sit idle in dusty yards, and the greasers are left watching their side of town fall apart while the other gets built up. Henry Eastwood is a seventeen-year-old greaser who knows how the world works when you're born on the wrong side of the tracks. Grace Merrick is a seventeen-year-old Soc girl raised on the side of town where all the girls are pretty, and the guys are always mean. They're not supposed to cross paths because in Tulsa, a Soc with a greaser is never right, but when they do, lines blur, loyalties shake, relationships clash, a war is declared, and feelings grow in a town that swears they shouldn't.
