This is Raymond Chandler for feminists.
―Sharma Shields, author of The Cassandra Jane's a very brave boy.
And a very difficult girl.
She'll become a remarkable woman, an icon of her century, but that's a long way off.
Not my fault, she thinks, dropping a bloody crowbar in the irrigation ditch after Daddy.
She steals Momma's Ford and escapes to Depression-era San Francisco, where she fakes her way into work as a newspaper copy boy.
Everything's looking up.
