This book documents the lives of teenage runaways who live on the streets of San Francisco and Los Angeles. Goldberg tells their story with a combination of photographs, found documents, and handwritten texts by the subjects themselves. A stark and unsparing look at the lives of these displaced and misunderstood youths, this book is also a compassionate and moving study of adolescent life in America, revealing the myriad traps which are set by drugs, violence, and exploitation. A powerful and important work.
