Publisher's Synopsis
Crystal's mother is a woman to be wary of; a diet of deep fried snacks has hardened her heart and her arteries. One misstep and Crystal is ordered to pack her bags; she's off to live with Freddy Krueger on the other side of the park. Near death avoided, back home with her mother, Crystal dotes on her pet bull terriers, struggles to keep her end up at a troubled inner city comp and begins to discover what life is all about. A heartwarming, occasionally scabrous insight into growing up in the 1980s.
