Zoot celebrates her coming of age at a party organised for her. As she watches Uranus orbit above her, Zoot has to choose who will be privileged to initiate her into the adult world. Will it be her mother, her best friend or someone totally different? It is a tense choice as she can only ever once celebrate the Coming of Age.

Tommy was the boy who lived next door to us and was much older than Clare and I at sixteen. This year he was the soccer captain and suddenly all the girls in the school, my sister included were making eyes at him.
