Writing was the most important thing in life for fourteen-year-old Evelyn Lau. Bright and talented, at odds with her parents, and compelled to seek what she knew to be her true path, she ran away - to spend the next two years submerged in drugs, despair and prostitution on the streets. Lau never stopped writing. The journals she kept provide an articulate and unsettling account of life on the streets for a young girl and a unique chance to enter, in its youth, the mind of a now mature and accomplished writer.
