How does an honor student at one of Los Angeles's finest prep schools-a bright, beautiful girl from a loving home-trade school uniforms and afternoons at the beach for shooting up in the back of a van in rural Indiana? How does a devoted mother emerge from the shock of finding that her daughter has not only disappeared but had been living a secret life for more than a year? Mother and daughter tell their paraell stories in mesmerizing first-person accounts.
This was an amazing book, an unbelievable true story, with a wonderful ending. Although I could have done away with some of the language, that was my only set back.
