(3) YA In the late 1970s, sixteen-year-old Kelle fled an abusive home life for New York to become a model. Men took advantage of her naiveté, she endured horrible living conditions (and homelessness), and she was a witness in an infamous murder trial. James's gritty memoir is hard to put down; readers will cringe at her many tribulations and cheer her eventual successes.
