   Summary

   Ponyboy Curtis knows how to take a beating, but he’s not so sure he knows how to live with the silence that comes after. When a walk home from school ends with fists, boots, and a blue Mustang, he stumbles back to a house already weighed down by unspoken words and heavy expectations.
