    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The summer before Troy Stotts turns seventeen, his mother dies. Troy and his father barely speak, communicating instead by writing notes on a legal pad by the phone. Troy spends most of his time with his closest friends: Tom Buller, brash and fearless, the son of a drunk; Gabe Benavidez, smart enough to know he&#8217;ll never take over the family ranch; and Gabe&#8217;s sister, Luz, whose family overprotects her, and who Troy has loved since they were children.<br/><br/><br/><br/>           Troy and his friends don&#8217;t want trouble. They want this to be the summer of what Troy calls &#8220;ghost medicine,&#8221; when time seems to stop, so they won&#8217;t have to face the past or the future. But before the summer is over, their paths will cross in dangerous and fateful ways with people who will change their lives: Rose, a damaged derelict who lives with a flock of wild horses and goats; and Chase Rutledge, the arrogant sheriff&#8217;s son. <br/><br/><br/><br/>           Troy and his friends want to disappear. Instead, they will become what they least expect &#8212;brothers, lovers, heroes, <em>and</em> ghosts. <br/><br/>&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]>
