Summary:
She is a fifteen-year-old who runs away to Los Angeles, seeking life beyond the harsh constraints of her evangelical upbringing. <i>She</i> is the narrative of her passage, from her escape on a bus to her quiet, determined progress through the city's unforgiving terrain, hoping to find a life - almost any life - that isn't the one she left behind. The journey takes her into and around the worlds of an assorted cast of Angelenos. From a penniless bontanist who makes her living by creating dazzling sugar flowers to decorate the cakes she herself can never afford, to a man who asks a woman to have a cup of coffee with him only to see her killed as she steps out of her car in front of a café, to a dancer whose hyperactive sense of smell makes her fiancé's presence nearly intolerable - the people of <i>She</i> are all seeking some manner of personal reconstitution.
