Hell's Half Acre

I didn't really rebel - I grew up in the ass-end of nowhere, and neither of my folks were around all that much, so it wasn't really an option - but my older sister moved out on her own when she was fifteen and wound up pregnant by seventeen, married (and divorced) by twenty, and had all three of her kids within a 26-month stretch. She also tended to think that stealing Mom's smokes was cool, that Dad's booze was free for the taking, and that I enjoyed being locked in the closet for hours on end (her idea of babysitting).
