Flying Changes — Lynn Hall

Seventeen-year-old Denny's life becomes complicated when she falls in love with her dad's new roping partner. Matters get even more complicated when her father has a crippling accident and her long-absent mother rejoins the family to care for him. “Hall offers a brilliant portrait of the games adults play, games in which Denny is reasonably sure she won't take part. . . . The story unfolds as an earthy, idiosyncratic surprise.”--Kirkus Reviews
