Description:

New York City's lights are bright enough to thrill even the most jaded teen--at first, anyway. Tracey Bascombe runs away to the writhing metropolis in hopes of living anonymously, away from her neglectful father and pill-popping mother. Sparkling facades are rarely what they seem, however, and soon Tracey must confront New York's gritty underbelly. Alone in the huge city, without real skills, Tracey turns to stripping in order to survive. In what may be one of the most graphic books ever written for teens, author Shelley Stoehr takes readers inside the mind of a runaway teen as she splits apart in order to maintain her sanity. She may be Tracey by day, but at night, under the hazy glow of stage lights, she becomes Amanda and dances for slobbering, objectifying men. Stoehr bravely abandons all moralizing here. Instead, the author allows Tracey/Amanda to describe her own life in painful, lurid detail, resulting in a powerful, cautionary tale for mature teens everywhere.
