Description

Rory Dawn Hendrix is in a Girl Scout troop of one. She lives in a trailer park called the Calles de las Flores near Reno. And she's determined to leave, childless, before her sixteenth birthday. Easier said than done.

Reviews

'This first novel is not like anything you or I have ever read ... You can't help loving this novel' Jaimy Gordon, author of Lord of Misrule. 'This amazing debut spills over with love but is still absolutely unflinching and real ... she's really that kind of fresh new voice people talk about' Aimee Bender, author of The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake. 'Hassman's wildly inventive prose explodes off the page' Heather O'Neill, author of Lullabies for Little Criminals.
