In some prisons the term crash test dummy is used to refer to an inmate who makes poor decisions and stays in trouble. Most are young and immature. This book is about an adolescent who is in danger of becoming a crash test dummy. Wayne learns at age 14 that his incarcerated father has been sending him mail for six years. His mother has hidden this fact from him, returning the mail unopened. The discovery leads to rebellion and the possibility of the boy following in his father's footsteps. Will he become prison's newest crash test dummy or can his rebellion be curbed before it's too late?

Walking into an empty house is normal to me. I guess I got tired of saying 'I'm home' when nobody is home to reply. It wasn't always like this. I remember when our family was close. Now we don't see each other any more. We don't talk to each other. We don't eat with each other. We don't ACKNOWLEDGE each other. This all happened after my 'Mother' killed herself. My father blames me. This is my story about how I learned to not count on anyone else but myself. I'm broken. I'm used. No one can fix me. But when the New Boy in town tries to fix me, everything will change. Good change or Bad change, I don't know. Only time will tell.
