| Abstract |
Cab Jones, 13, arrives in Pittsburgh from Texas to spend the summer helping her grandmother run a restaurant in a crime-ridden neighborhood. The fictitious working-class Washco at first shocks Cab, but she adjusts, meets colorful locals, and soon tries to help customers recover from the aftermath of deindustrialization.
