Publisher's Synopsis
Neepa Irving has two main goals in life: to not get pregnant like her mother did at sixteen years old and to graduate high school.
Neepa's other goal: to avoid being bullied. Her strategy has been to not be seen or heard, but no matter where she's lived-on the reservation or in the city-bullies find her.
When her grandmother kicks out Neepa and her mother for good, they are back on the road. This time, they head to Colorado to start another new life. While unpacking, she discovers poems from her deceased grandfather, reminding her to listen to nature's wisdom, as her Native ancestors did.
Soon, Neepa is fighting school bullies as well as the bully within-her ego that fills her head with lies. How will her grandfather's indigenous writings help her? And when her mother messes up again, where will they go next?
No matter what Neepa does, it seems her life will never be okay.
