    About this ebook

    This is a story of love and courage, and of growing up enough to face the truth – and to speak it. During the summer of 1990, seventeen-year-old Annie Maitlin decides she is tired of living in her small California town. She wants something different, something that will make her life just a little more important before she leaves. What happens is more than Annie could have imagined. She meets and falls in love with a Jewish boy, and she quickly learns what life is like for others. Her friends, as well as her own parents, reveal their narrow-mindedness and fears. White supremacy and Neo-Nazism find a home in her small town. And what begins as harmless childish pranks and petty jealousies escalates to violence.

      My husband, who loved festivals, who was a great fan of festivals, wanted to get to the square in time for the first band at eleven o’clock. From bed, the dog and I watched him dress. He tried on various T-shirts, declaring some of them too tight and

      After “The End”

      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      I moved to Los Angeles to sing. When was this? August? June? I was twenty-nine, and those were shapeless months, when the days blended together and I refused to pull them apart. My landlord was unusually close to her adult son. His name was Jeffrey,

      My sister called me the other day. She wanted to let me know that I had once more been merciless and cruel in my relations with our parents. “They say there’s a lot of anger in you,” she said. “It makes them mad. It hurts their feelings. They think y
