Description: "In print for the first time, these loosely connected autobiographical stories describe the harrowing experiences of a young boy's life on the run. From the heartbreaking 'Meteors,' where he struggles for the attention of his wandering mother, to the paranoia of 'Coal' - 'Whenever things feel out of control I know the black coal is doing it, and I know what to do, my mom taught me' - to living on the streets of San Francisco in 'Natoma Street.'"--BOOK JACKET.
