With the help of her understanding mother and a close friend, Jen eventually outgrows her nickname, Jinx, and deals with the deaths of two boys with whom she had been involved.

This is what When She Hollers should/could have been. “Heavy” topics without the clunky dialogue.
This would be great for an English class to dissect in detail – how much can be said with so little.
Told mostly from the perspective of Jen/Jinx, but also giving glimpses into the lives of her friends and family, Jinx reads more like poetry, than prose. Well done, Margaret Wild!
