A small town in Texas packs quite a big punch in this sweet and endearing look at how a small town works and the ways that it can destroy some of its own. Queenie Wake has been an outcast her entire life - she just never quite fit in and maybe it is because of the drama from her mom, but I don't think she helped the matter either. Her and her sister reacted in different ways to the abuse from the small town - she ran from it. She returns to North Star, TX, but isn't sure she is there to stay.
