Summary

Odette Larson vividly recounts her adolescence on the edge of Las Vegas before it became the Disneyfied center of family entertainment that it is today. Contrasting the frontiers of this haunted geography with the severity of her life at home, this extraordinary rite of passage includes a spectacular escape from a mental hospital with two convicted killers and brutal adventures on the streets of Oakland.

Author Biography

Odette Larson teaches at California State University of Fresno. She lives in Central California
