Summary

Perhaps Temper's longing to escape [from the West Coast] is a result of being raised on a road less traveled in an area of South Central Los Angeles, where tourism is obsolete and gang banging and dope slanging reign supreme. Or maybe it's because of the widespread enigma of 'the only way out the hood is over a thirty-foot wall.' If this hood proverb is true, then being born half-black and half-Asian should've given her a ten-foot ladder as a head start"--Publisher marketingFor Temper Chey, the West Coast is a prison and she's dying to be freed. Her part of South Central Los Angeles is an area where tourism is obsolete and gang banging and dope slanging reign supreme. After a brief escapade with one of the most infamous Crip kingpins force her to twist, toss, and burn her exit plans? Or will the chaos be the spark that provides a ride to freedom? -- adapted from back cover
