Set in 1950s New Orleans, this novel, based on actual events, introduces the world to Josie Moraine, a girl who yearns for a better life from what she has lived in the seedy French Quarter of that time. Mistreated by her prostitute mother, she finds solace in books and in a host of colorful characters who try to make her dreams come true.
