He has a high-strung knockout of a mother who may be drinking her way into alcoholism, an Army-officer father he both resents and admires, and a younger sister whose high-school popularity he can only envy. Moving every two or three years, Chester is a perennial new kid as well as a bookish and movie-besotted romantic who at the age of thirteen falls in love, he thinks, with his own first cousin, Frenchie, a seventeen-year-old older woman.
