"Kaethe Cherney's moving story follows a spirited young girl through family breakdown, the madness of a cult and the temptations of New York when it was raw and wild. A bracing coming of age story and a perfect snapshot of the 1970's."- Mary Harron, director of 'American Psycho'

"A heart-breaking novel about an unusual childhood." - Alexander Stille, author of The Sullivanians: Sex, Psychotherapy, and the Wild Life of an American Commune

"How a psychosexual 'cult' tried to tear apart [her] family." - New York Post

"You won't be able to put it down!" - Giancarlo Esposito

"A compelling read set in 1970's New York that paints a vivid, at times heartbreaking picture of a family in turmoil." -
Cosey Fanni Tutti, author of 'Art, Sex and Music' and 'Re-Sisters: The Lives and Recordings of Delia Derbyshire, Margery Kempe and Cosey Fanni Tutti'.

Synopsis
New York. 1970s. A collapsing family in a collapsing city. The Bronx is burning uptown while the beautiful people party downtown. After her father dies and her older siblings join the Sullivanian cult, Saskia becomes her mom's mom. The grit and glamour of after-hours Manhattan is portrayed through the lens of a bereaved teen, capturing the hormones and hedonism which come with navigating the complexities of the adult world. Harrowing yet hopeful, this is a story about losing love and finding it again.
