Lovely Ali is a wanderer. In LA on her own, she is found by men and women who love her—for awhile—but never for long enough. The only one who never leaves is an acrobat named Michael who watches Ali with sad eyes. But before she can recognize who she is and what she already has, Ali must search deep within the darkest parts of herself. This short story from Francesca Lia Block, acclaimed author of the upcoming LOVE IN THE TIME OF GLOBAL WARMING, pays homage to a lost girl on a quest for love and home.
