  Summary

  Dallas Winston—for the seventeen years and ten months he was alive—was nothing but a slippin’-through-the-cracks hoodlum, a bitin’ and clawin’ dog that never got thrown a bone. Or a fuckin’ lifeline.

   

  Well—that ain’t the truth, really. Or it ain’t the whole truth, at least.

   

  'Cause for those first few years, the ones full of first words and yellow-tinted paper bills pilin’ up on the countertop in their shitty little apartment, Dallas had one person: his mama.
