Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
One week. That's all Jessie said. A one-week break to get some perspective before graduation, before she and her boyfriend, Chris, would have to make all the big, scary decisions about their future - decisions they had been fighting about for weeks. Then, Chris vanishes. The police think he's run away, but Jessie doesn't believe it. Chris is popular and good-looking, about to head off to college on a full-ride baseball scholarship. And he disappeared while going for a run along the river - the same place where some boys from the rival high school beat him up just three weeks ago...
Follows small town girl Jessie as she deals with first love and loss.
When Jessie's boyfriend, Chris, disappears right before graduation, she presses the police to investigate, fearing that Chris--who is black--has been targeted for violence.
