Page Fifty-Five

Lullabies for Little Criminals by Heather O'Neil

Baby is a twelve year-old girl living in Montreal with her father, Jules. Jules is a heroin addict, and when go from bad to worse for him, Baby is tossed into foster care and then eventually into the arms of Alphonse, a pimp. Gritty, dark, disturbing, this book was a difficult read but a page turner nonetheless.
