A glimpse into the world of a misfit 'cutter' teen, who, with devastating honesty and deadpan humour, illustrates the horrors of life through confessional letters to the singer of her favourite band. Passionate, artistic and sensitive, Jolene Siana lived on the impoverished side of Toledo, Ohio, with an alcoholic, abusive single mother. Jolene's only comfort was found through writing and immersing herself in a growing post-punk/industrial music scene. This book reveals the truth about growing up weird and offers an inspiring update on the 'teen tale.'
