Book Cover & Preview Text
If I pray hard enough will you come out of your cave and howl at the moon I will catch your call like a shooting star it shoots through this young spirit like an arrow wolf man I am your moon I am wolf girl mentally ill homeless people roam like wild buffalo and I am your moon Dad I am wolf girl I'd like my pain to be a feather floating in the wind unattached from the bird I'd like my soul to be a four- legged beast courageously roaming the world Loneliness is worse than a wolf's teeth tearing at the flesh of its prey so violently cruel yet as calm as vague stars in the distant dark I see you in every mentally ill drug addicted homeless man who crosses my path but most of all I see you in every Father walking and holding his little girls hand the way you once held mine

About the Book
Brief Review:
Daughter of a Rogue-The book is a riveting, heart-wrenching and utterly fascinating account of her father, and everything she has ever wanted to say to him. It pulls no punches, and although it is filled with emotion, it is by no means maudlin or sentimental.
--Joseph Verrilli
