Summary

Madden came of age as a queer, biracial teenager within the fierce contradictions of Boca Raton, Florida, a place where cult-like privilege, shocking social and racial disparities, rampant white-collar crime, and powerfully destructive standards of beauty hide in plain sight. As a child she had plenty to envy, but beneath the surface life in Boca Raton was dangerous: both parents battling drug addiction, tormentors at school, sexual predators at the mall, and the confused, often destructive, desperately loving friendship of fatherless girls. This is her story of families both lost and found, unmade and rebuilt, crooked and beautiful--, adapted from jacket
