A downright lidless look into the motherless life of Baby, thirteen and living on the streets, too aware of the subtle lure of adult sins, and still young to want her dolls that she carries in her sole suitcase. Her escape is her gift to spin stories of wonderful imagaintion and innocence, but a local pimp has taken interest in Baby, and he never loses..

Those who like to see the light at the end of the tunnel, those that can read hardship and know there is good somewhere.

Heather O'Neil. This is her first book, and it is a remarkable tale.
