Little Miss Strange: A Novel
Location(s): Denver
Genre(s): Fiction
Era(s): 1960s-1970s
This is one of those quiet, graceful books in which the author manages to expose the beauty in simple, ordinary, everyday life. Ironically, as this is a story of a child of love children, set in Denver, CO in the 1960s and 70s, the book is down to earth even as it tells the story of Sarajean, daughter of a heroin junkie mother who drifted away to be free, and living with a man, Jimmy Henry, who may or may not be her father. Seen through the eyes of a young girl who knows no other kind of life, this strange world of hippies and free love and marijuana and heroin is absolutely normal, and though as adults we can read between the lines and know what is happening, Sarajean does not.
