Thirteen-year-old Jesse leads a pretty boring life in just about the most boring place in the universe -- otherwise known as Ida, Texas. She cannot forget the death of her baby brother seven years ago, and how she just couldn't pray for him when he was sick. She never talks about it though, not even to her best friend, which is something she doesn't have, anyway. But all that changes when Roxanne moves into the trailer next door. Thirty years old, with her fake fur coat, wild red hair, and romantic notions, Roxanne is a revelation to Jesse. Why has she moved to Ida, of all places? Their growing friendship will change Jesse's life, giving her back a vision of hope beyond the mundane world around her.
From the Hardcover edition.
Through an unusual friendship with her thirty-one-year-old neighbor in a Texas trailer park, thirteen-year-old Jesse learns that what's inside a person is more important than what's outside.

Under the Mermaid Angel
I think I read this when I was in 6th or 7th grade. I spent a lot of time in the library during those years and I came across this book. It was pretty deep to read this book at the time because I specifically remember Roxanne telling Jessie that she had a baby boy and it was Jessie's friend that always made fun of Roxanne behind her back. I also remember a girl who was called frog face because of how her face looked like from a car accident (mean). I also believe that Jesse was so much into science that she didn't believe the same things that Roxanne did. Also, Roxanne gave her fur coat to Jesse and she wore it all the time at school one day. I believe her gym teacher thought that Jesse wore it because she thought she was pregnant. I believe this story is called under the mermaid angel because Jesse went to a birthday party with Roxanne and there was a mermaid angel piñata (I could be wrong, I read this a long time ago). Towards the end, Jesse starts to believe in some things Roxanne believes in. Also, Roxanne's boyfriend she had a baby boy with, somehow died and he had a fake hand.
