Spunky Punkette Seeks Adventure And Romance

When sixteen-year old Valerie Trumble leaves Suburban Etobicoke for the bright lights of Toronto, she soon discovers that there are things much worse than wooden beaver wallpaper or her motherÕs ÔgrossÕ cooking. Now, with only a black leather jacket and two hockey bags full of clothing, she must fend for herself in the big, bad city. Fortunately, this is the early eighties, and the punk scene is large and vibrant. Valerie soon finds accommodations at the Terrible House of Sickness, the most notorious punk house in town. Glue-sniffing skinheads, drunken bikers, and hamster-gargling punk rockers are only a few of the things she must learn to live with. What will become of little Valerie Trumble? Will her dignity survive in this harsh environment? Or is she destined to become just another burnt-out casualty of the streets? Take a trip back in time to the halcyon days of punk, to Queen Street and Kensington Market, where the nights are long and the party never ends.
