If you liked any of Francine Saint Marie's trilogy stories you'll like this too. Sort of back story. I think. I'm not sure.

Why is it being discontinued?

Because the title makes it hard to find and search for? Well that's a good reason. Also I guess it wouldn't make any sense at all if you hadn't read any of her other stories.

This is not a proper memoir or a proper story. It's a proper mess. But it's really interesting.

I think you should think of it as a book of poetry. That creates enough plus and minus tolerance so it meets the specification.

It's really short. Disjointed. I REALLY like the poetry. The little essay like parts are good too. It's well written again.

I like it and there is no sex in it at all. That's saying something.
