Description: "Sixteen-year-old Claire is an artist. Or at least, she wants to be. But doing art and being an artist are still very different things for Claire. Between her suddenly distant best friend Lydia, her budding sexuality--and the boys who want to help her discover it--and taking care of ninety-one-year-old 'Muffin' at Westcare Manor retirement home, Claire has her hands full for the long, hot summer that Rio Bueno, New Mexico, promises. Can Claire find herself as an artist while falling in love for the first time? Will her own risky decisions sabotage her chances, or help them? And how can helping Muffin help Claire bring all the pieces of her life together and giver her the courage to dream about the future? [This novel] is a stroy about art, love, compassion, and following your own path."--Publisher's statement, p. [4] of cover.
