Frustrated by her inability to care for so many, Cassie finds in the local pool hall an oasis of green felt where she can master objects and restrain her emotions. As Cassie grows up, she takes on the thankless role of family provider by working odd jobs and hustling pool. All the while she keeps her eye on the ultimate prize: wringing suitable justice from past wrongs and freeing herself from her life's inertia. In this uplifting story, Haven Kimmel reaches deep into the hamstrung souls of her fictional corner of Indiana to create an astonishing work of pure heartbreak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHaven Kimmel\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Used World\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eShe Got Up Off the Couch\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSomething Rising (Light and Swift)\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Solace of Leaving Early\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eA Girl Named Zippy\u003c\/i\u003e.
