description: A gripping story of heartache, abuse, and hope. After being raped and beaten by her brutal stepfather, sixteen-year-old Kari Allensworth left home. And like millions of naive runaways before her, she wound up on California's notorious Sunset Strip with no money and no destination. Confused, scared, and lonely, she became easy prey for Paco, a flashy pimp who showered the love-starved Kari with compassion and kindness.
