Отрывок из книги
Late in the evening as Taylor organized the parts in her dad’s garage, a shoe crashed through the small window in the door to the house. Bits of glass tinkled to the floor as she moved her arms from over her head and reached to turn the music up a notch. Picking the shoe from the floor, she sat it neatly on the step, swept the glass, and resumed straightening the garage. She kept a radio at mid-volume, not because of the music, but to avoid hearing the raised voices in the house.
Lately her father spent more time trying to keep her mom calm, and less time teaching Taylor about cars. It was not a total loss. She could learn most everything on her own. If it was in books, she could learn it instantly. What she craved was to learn what people knew that was not in the books. The feelings and intuition, the facial expressions that gave weight to words, these things could only be learned face to face. She missed the face to face time with both her mom and dad.

“Wild hair? I just tried to comb it a little while ago.”
“I have known girls with red shaggy hair like yours. You might as well give up. It will always do just what it wants—and I think it’s cute. You try to look all dignified like a rich kid should, but your hair gives you away. You’re just a wild child at heart.”
