Fiction
"Trouble began in 1963 . . . the age-old trouble." Unable
to attend college, Beverly Ann Donofrio lost interest in
everything but riding around in cars, drinking, smoking, and
rebelling against authority. After her teenage marriage
failed, Donofrio found herself at an elite New England
university, books in one arm, child on the other. Then,
furnished with ambition, dreams, and five hundred dollars,
she took herself and her son to New York City to begin a
career and a life.
An outrageous and touching
memoir, Riding in Cars with Boys is about becoming
middle-class and the compromises made between being your own
person and fitting into society. But mostly it's a story of
a teenage mother who, as her son grows up, becomes an adult
herself.
