People around the small town hear about the news that Jason Underhill has been charged with rape. It sweeps through the small town like wildfire! Jason is considered a golden boy, being the star hockey player, and the one with the bright and shining future, and a hockey scholarship just waiting for him. So, this is a major shock for everyone and lots don’t know exactly what to believe. Daniel Stone, Trixie’s father, is furious. Hearing the news that your daughter has been raped would make me really upset and angry also. For years, since he met Trixie’s mother, Laura, he’s been trying to control his temper, and hide his past of dealing with others who made fun of him where he grew up. Trixie has no idea that this gentle father of hers used to once be a dangerous rebel. This danger was what had attracted her father to her mother in the first place. I guess Trixie’s mom liked the bad boys! Daniel’s fear of becoming someone he doesn’t want to be, of his daughter not recognizing that person, comes through in his artwork, some of which is shown at the start of every chapter.
