As she seeks to ease her loneliness through her summer algebra class, the city itself, and her friendship with a streetcar operator, adults fail her again and again with devastating consequences. Dreamlike and beautifully paced, this lyrical debut memoir traces that harrowing summer and its repercussions throughout Stephanie's life, including as a caregiver for the mother who abandoned her and in her career as a custody mediator through the court system. Through a mosaic of trauma and transcendence, poverty and neglect, and solitude and longing, Smith reveals how she used her imagination to connect to a world that had largely left her behind. Her hard-won survival echoes that of countless other survivors whose stories are never told, and her strength stands as a testament to the powers of empathy and love"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Smith, Stephanie Clare $x Childhood and youth. 650 0 $a Teenage girls $z New Orleans $z New Orleans $v Biography. 650 0 $a Adult child abuse victims $v Biography. 650 0 $a Mothers and daughters $z New Orleans. $z New Orleans. 650 0 $a Child abuse $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Mediators (Persons) $v Biography. 650 6 $a Enfants maltraiteÌs devenus adultes $v Biographies. 650 6 $a MeÌres et filles $z La Nouvelle-OrleÌans. $z La Nouvelle-OrleÌans. 650 6 $a Enfants $x Aspect psychologique. $x Aspect psychologique. 650 6 $a MeÌdiateurs $v Biographies. 650 6 $a Adolescentes $z La Nouvelle-OrleÌans $z La Nouvelle-OrleÌans $v Biographies. 655 7 $a autobiographies (literary works) $2 aat 655 7 $a Creative nonfiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Essais fictionnels. $2 rvmgf 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 rvmgf 830 0 $a Great circle books. 941 $a 1 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20240405024618.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A74F3EE8F31211EEA2A0228A4CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
