A coming-of-age memoir. Even before Susanette starts first grade, she thinks her daddy will pity her if she fails to marry. Her prospect of finding a Prince Charming dims when schoolboys nickname her Rabbit Teeth. Yet, through many hard-working years as a tobacco farmer's daughter, she does not abandon hope as she yearns for a different kind of life. Self-conscious about her looks, she is disheartened by her luck with boys. A popular boy in her Spanish class annoys her to the point she despises him. But then, he asks her out. What follows, Susanette could never have imagined.
