Living at the Edge of the World

Description:

"Tina tells the story of her four years in the strange netherworld of Grand Central Station: her descent into crack addiction, being raped in the tunnels, her several arrests and jail terms, and her grief and guilt over the death of April, whom she'd come to love. Finally faced with the reality that she might not make it through one more day, Tina takes her first difficult steps towards a normal life.". "With the help of a homeless advocate and his wife, a gay uncle dying of AIDS, and the woman who would become her co-author on this book, Tina turns her life around and makes her way back to the world of the living."--BOOK JACKET.
