Summary
"He was convinced, completely and utterly, that no one else in the world had done this before. This was the first time in history that a promising high school senior — Boy of the Year, for chrissake — with the future in the palm of his hand suddenly found himself in a cold hospital room with one crying and one unconscious brother and had to tell them their parents were dead. A new record, but none that Darry ever wanted to set. He was on his own in every sense of the word."

Or, Darrel Curtis is eighteen years old, newly orphaned, and his baby brother had been in the car when it happened.
