Summary
It's 1981 in Texarkana, Texas, and Noah Ellis is trying hard to remember. Still reeling from the loss of his father in a tragic drowning, Noah is in an accident of his own--one that ends with a local boy dead, a tiger on the loose, and Noah in the hospital with severe amnesia. After that fateful day, everything changes. Noah becomes the key witness in a highly publicized court case. Local girls start to notice him and the kids who once bullied him accept him into their pack--at a cost. And rather than being the kid brother to his big brother Jack, now Noah's got a baby sister he's responsible for. But Noah's still stuck on that day--the accident he can't remember, and the boy he'll never see again. As town secrets come to light and summer comes to a close, Noah's got to figure out what to do with all that grief.
