Description:

For as long as he could remember, eighteen-year-old Richard could never stand up to his tyrannical father. Then one night after a fight to end all fights, Richard's father tells him to leave.

For the first time in his life Richard is on his own, with no one to belittle him or boss him around. Then he meets feisty and independent Bonny, who has street smarts but claims she's stupid since at school she's called "ineducable."

During their weeks together, Bonny helps Richard find the self-respect he has lost, while Richard makes Bonny feel good about herself. Now each of them sees what it's like on "the other side of the fence." And what they see and find out about themselves and each other is nothing short of amazing.
