      abstract = {At 15, sick of her mom's spineless reactions to abusive  men--and afraid of her stepfather's unpredictable  behavior--Janice Erlbaum walked out of her family's  apartment and never returned. From her first frightening  night at a shelter, trying to sleep in a large room filled  with yelling girls, Janice knew she was in over her head.  She was beaten up, shaken down, and nearly stabbed--but it  was still better than home. She was halfway homeless, one  step away from being sent "upstate to Lockdown." Yet she  continued to attend high school, harbor crushes, even play  the lead in the spring production of Guys and Dolls. She  also roamed the streets, clubs, bars, and parks of New York  City with her two girlfriends, on the prowl for hard drugs  and boys on skateboards. This is an unflinching look at  street life, survival sex, female friendships, and first  loves.--From publisher description.},
