- Synopsis
- Casey Gordon is lean and limber, a 17-year-old senior at Westfield High School. Casey is a bright, energetic, caring girl but she seems to need to be hurt. She injures herself a little too much in track competitions and she always falls in love with real losers. She doesn&’t really understand the conflicts inside of her and the feelings of unworthiness that set her up to get involved with Paul VanHorn.Paul is nineteen, and he graduated—under a cloud of scandal—from her high school the year before. Instead of going to college, he does construction work. A mysterious, attractive boy just over six feet and powerfully built, he is well-read, intelligent, and even romantic. He charms Casey and he pays attention to her deepest needs. But he comes from a terrible home—his father is an abusive alcoholic and his mother a submissive, suffering victim.
