A beautiful and provocative love story between two unlikely people and the hard-won relationship that elevates them above the Midwestern meth lab backdrop of their lives. As the daughter of a drug dealer, Wavy knows not to trust people, not even her own parents. It’s safer to keep her mouth shut and stay out of sight.
Later this month, a second ‘After School Coloring’ event will take place from 3:30 – 4:30 p.m. Relax and get creative after a busy school week. Adults will be on hand for conversation. Coloring pages, art utensils of all kinds and a light snack will be provided.
