Publisher's Synopsis
The Lunch Box Bandit: There were no lunch boxes involved. These were paper bags with lunches inside them. But the term, "Lunch Box Bandit", was used to describe me.Why would I do this -- steal lunches? Because I was hungry. The kids were throwing their sandwiches away and eating in the cafeteria. Why waste the food ? I was literally starving to death. So I broke into their lockers and only removed what they were going to throw away. People didn't like the idea of "their space" being violated. So they complained. As a result of all this, I ended up a Ward of the State, on the grounds of being mentally and physically abused by my stepmother. I did not make these accusations, the State did. But there was another side. As a State Ward, I met an orphan named Alex Zander Magnisson. He was tall, dark blond and addictive. His pretty brown eyes compelled me to do and say just about anything and everything to please him. Then he became rich, famous and a rock star. I was his muse and music saved me. I made a thousand bad choices and some really good ones. This is my story. My name is Carian Altenburger.
