Description
"It's the summer of 1972, and Kansas wheat fields are baking under the relentless sun. Teenagers are celebrating the first taste of freedom as they line their pockets with newly printed driver's licenses and long-awaited paychecks. Days off are spent at the town's only lake, nights under the yellow lights of the drive-in restaurant. But Billy Tupper's life is a far cry from that of other teenagers. One mistake too many lands him in front of a judge who sentences him to a summer working for Old Lady Baxter, the victim of his latest carelessness...and the rumored child killer of Munroe, Kansas. As Billy sweats his way through endless months of mowing her lawn, weeding her garden, and painting her house, he also searches for the evidence to prove she's guilty, but what he finds, and what he learns about himself, will change his life forever. I Know an Old Lady is a touching coming-of-age story of loss and redemption, of understanding and compassion, and of a family torn apart and slowly put back together. I Know an Old Lady is Billy Tupper's story."--Page 4 of cover.
