Description: "After a gang of neighborhood boys attack Steven and his sister, Jenny, the Parkers are doing very well on the resulting settlement money. The family's dream of success in their new home of Salt Lake City seems fulfilled. But their period of high living soon ends, and each family member grasps at what he or she wants most. Fourteen-year-old Jenny longs for normalcy, a state she tries to find in her Mormon friends' religion and life. A stubborn optimist, Steven's father clings to his desire for affluence, even as his more practical wife tires of his dreams and searches for stability. For Steven, nothing is more important than keeping his teetering family together."--BOOK JACKET.
