"Megan works as a proofreader at a small weekly newspaper, but she hungers for juicier work. When Megan first meets Mouth, a homeless teenage hustler, on the streets of L.A., he's the perfect subject for the expose she hopes will help her break into journalism. She doesn't expect to be drawn into his life or to become his friend; she doesn't mean to care about the kids she's writing about, but as her article proceeds and she spends her nights down on Santa Monica Boulevard, the lines blur between subject and researcher."--Amazon.com.
