<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A whirlwind exploration of poverty and dropouts, "Rose of No Man's Land" is the world according to Trisha--a furious love story between two weirdo girls, brimming with snarky observations and soulful wonderings on the dazzle-flash emptiness of contemporary culture.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Fourteen-year-old Trisha Driscoll is a gender-blurring, self-described loner whose family expects nothing of her. While her mother lies on the couch in a hypochondriac haze and her sister aspires to be on <em>The Real World, </em> Trisha struggles to find her own place among the neon signs, theme restau­rants, and cookie-cutter chain stores of her hometown. <p/>After being hired and abruptly fired from the most popular clothing shop at the local mall, Trisha befriends a chain-smoking misfit named Rose, and her life shifts into manic overdrive. A "postmillennial, class-adjusted <em>My So-Called Life</em>" (<em>Publishers Weekly</em>), <em>Rose of No Man's Land </em>is brim­ming with snarky observations and soulful musings on contemporary teenage America. <p/><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>"<i>Rose of No Man s Land</i> is both a riotously funny coming-of-age story and a poignant cautionary tale that smacks of there but for the grace of God heartbreak . . . Tea manages to balance Trisha s snarky edge with moments of a sweetly sad, naive vulnerability that beautifully capture those mercurial midteen years." <i>The Boston Globe <br></i> <br>Fourteen-year-old Trisha Driscoll is a gender-blurring, self-described loner whose family expects nothing of her.

We suggest you put it at the top of your list." <i>Daily Candy<br></i> <br>"A literary Molotov cocktail that is equal parts <i>My So-Called Life, Thelma & Louise</i>, and <i>Twin Peaks</i>. . . Tea takes the reader on a harrowing journey that highlights how truly terrifying and exhilarating it is to be a teenager." <i>BUST Magazine <p></i>"A riotous coming-of-age novel do[es] for working-class teenage lesbians what S. E. Hinton s <i>Rumble Fish</i> and <i>The Outsiders</i> did for greasers and street-brawling tough guys." <i>The </i><i>New York Times Book Review<br></i><i><br></i>"What a miracle of a book."--<i>BookForum <br></i> <br><b>Michelle Tea</b> lives in San Francisco, where she is beloved for her writing, her spoken word poetry, and her innovative arts organization that brought the world Sister Spit.

Not for the faint of heart, Tea's writing is raw, funny, and tragic, but never forced. <b>A-.</b>--<i>Entertainment Weekly</i> (Editor's Choice) <p/>It made me entirely happy to be alive . . .
