內容簡介

內容簡介 Winner of the High Plains Book Award for a First BookAt sixteen Judith Sara Gelt finally rebels after spending years watching her warm, Jewish home in Denver disintegrate.

To escape Gelt makes one perilous choice after another, and these decisions carry her, unprepared and alone, into a world that is sometimes cruel and often dangerous. After returning to Denver she works to understand her parents and her past, and she is surprised to discover her own strengths.Throughout her memoir Gelt reflects upon how risk taking has shaped her relationships with and her attitudes toward men and sex, her daughter, Judaism, and her own eventual diagnosis of major depressive disorder.
