Description:
After Granny dies, Tiger Ann Parker wants nothing more than to get out of her rural town in Louisiana -- far away from her mentally disabled mother, her "slow" father who can't read and electric bill, and the classmates who taunt her. So when Aunt Dorie Kay asks Tiger to live with her in Baton Rouge, Tiger can't wait to go. But before she is able to leave, the sudden revelation of a dark family secret prompts Tiger to make a decision that will ultimately change her life.
