Rory Hendrix is not your usual girl scout. She is a troop of one with only an old, beat-up copy of the Girl Scout Handbook to guide and lead her through her difficult childhood. She uses the book to learn skills such as "The Right Use of Your Body" and "Finding your Way When Lost." Mainly, Rory wants it to give her tips on how to get off the Calle de las Flores trailer park. As the a "third-generation bastard on her way to whoredome," Rory knows that in order to change her future she must be strong, brave, and smart. Will she be able to overcome serious tragedies in her life? Is she strong enough? "Girlchild," is a poignant but hopeful story that will stay with you. Winner of a 2013 Alex Award
