A young woman enduring "the rotting, sun-blasted shack, the one room where they all lived, slept, made love, died," and "the sly, lustful eyes of her father's friends," is willing to use her lovely body to escape to a new life (curious how seldom it turns out that some guy can do the same thing). Slant, uneven 1/4" tear to bottom edge of front cover/first end paper, some mild waviness at spine, light general wear. Internally tight and clean.
