Reach for this book when your teen is beginning to question the 'rules' of their social circle or family legacy, especially if they are struggling to reconcile personal integrity with deep-seated loyalty. Bridget is a sixteen-year-old Irish Traveller living in a tight-knit, nomadic community where life follows a rigid script: leave school early, marry within the group, and survive through 'scams' or petty crime. As Bridget watches her brother face the consequences of their lifestyle and she is pressured into an arranged marriage, she begins to wonder if there is a life for her outside the only world she has ever known. This is a nuanced look at the cost of independence and the heavy weight of tradition. It is most appropriate for mature middle schoolers and high school students who are navigating their own paths toward self-discovery.
