Summary
"In telling the story of a young outsider who is obsessed with her gang-leader lover, McKay, but unwilling to commit to becoming one of 'the Property of the Orphans' -- the tough girls who belong to the boys on the avenue -- Hoffman explores hard truths about how difficult it is to love another, and yet how much more difficult it is to pull away."--P. [4] of cover.
