Remy and Morgan thought of
little else but getting their driver's licenses. They prayed each day that
their driver ed teacher would let them get behind the wheel of the car
and get one step closer to the independence of a license. The unofficial
right of passage in town was that each student would steal a street sign
from a town road before they took the test. Remy knew that she wanted the
sign from Morgan Road. Wouldn't it be neat to have the street sign that
bore the name of the boy she had a crush on! After an evening of sign stealing,
Remy felt great. When she learns the terrible price paid for her fun, how
can he live with the guilt? How can any of the kids who took down the stop
sign at the corner of Warren and Cherry go on as if nothing had happened?

How would you feel if you killed
a person? Rembrandt Marland and her boyfriend Morgan do so. To innocent
teenagers out for some fun, before they get their drivers liseces, take
a sign and their consequence is the life of Denise Thomson, who has a one
year old that will for get that his mother. (Kausandra Uhler, student,
