She was just 17, a high school dropout named Milly Jones, found walking down the middle of the highway, engulfed in flames. I really enjoyed this book. The southerness of it reminded me of home. I loved the Fiesty lady sheriff Lillie, and hated Coach Bud Mills and Nito Reece. There were alot of unlikable characters,  but a good plot overall.
