Sixteen-year-old Scarlett Blaine wants
nothing more than to fulfill her autistic brother Cliff’s wish to launch
a rocket to Jupiter. But tensions at home—thanks to her hippie
sister, Juli—and money troubles make Scarlett’s life far from
sparkling. Especially when the neighbor, Frank, has eyes only for Juli,
even though Scarlett spends every day picking peaches with the boy. In
the end, Scarlett must find a way to care for her brother and herself in
a world that seems as hard as a peach pit.
