AbstractHistoryArchive Description
No place like home. But what if home is unsafe and violent? Fifteen year old Simone is lured by her new boyfriend with promises of a better life in the big city. On the run from a dangerous environment and her drug addicted sister, she arrives in Palmino with stars in her eyes and hope in her heart. In reality her boyfriend turns violent, the other itinerants brand her an intruder and home becomes a drain or a squat.
