Birthday Girl: a novel

by Diane J Wright

$9.99 suggested retail

Sixteen-year-old Tracey Burns has been confined to a single room for two years. One night, amid chaotic spring winds, she slips to freedom and inadvertently sets herself on a journey that takes her further away from the one thing she wants most: to find the mother who left her behind.

Determined but starkly naïve, Tracey plunges into a harsh and confusing world where she is no more than a headline, a case file, another ragged face on the side of the California highway asking for change. It’s only when she stumbles upon an enclave of irrepressible epicureans tucked in the flatlands of the Mojave that she begins to uncover the truth of her world, of herself, and of her missing mother.

BIRTHDAY GIRL is a novel based upon actual events. Get lost along with Tracey Burns as she struggles to find her place in a world that chooses who is seen and who is not.
