Foreword
For centuries the city has always seemed a place of refuge, a home, another chance-perhaps the last-to start a new life in the center of industry and the arts.
It has drawn the rootless, the despairing, the hopeful, the old and the young. Most come willingly, seeking something bright and new. And most are disillusioned, finding only ugliness, squalor and a demeaning existence. These newly arrived, newly despairing individuals soon drift into meaningless jobs or even more meaningless inactivity, or, if luckier, return home to friends and family and a more productive life, wiser for their experiences.
Debbi's Dirt Road is the shocking story of one girl and the dreams she left behind in her search for love, for success, for some sort of happiness in the big city. It is also about the shame she found, the degradation she endured and the sin that became a?way of life for her, an American dream that turned into an endless nightmare.
