The only thing that helps Cat escape the horrifying world around her are the white lines that she inhales in the raunchy, stenched bathroom of an underground club. After endless nights of clubbing, Caitlin is left without sleep and a will to do well in school. Without these two things, Cat drifts through her monotonous day indiscriminately. This grievous book contains intermittent thoughts from Caitlin’s oppressive childhood. In the days of her adolescence, Cat was abused by her despicable mother. The abuse was not only physical, but emotional as well. In the presence of the book, (the eighties), Cat lives alone in an apartment in New York’s East Village. Her downtown apartment is paid for by her distant and unconcerned father.
