"The narrator, an androgynous twelve-year-old boy, idolizes his mother Sarah, a 'lot lizard', or truck-stop whore. Adopting her name, and pretending to be a girl, 'Sarah' stumbles into dangerous and fantastic worlds pocketed away in the West Virginian wilds. He hitches a ride to the famous luck-restoring Jackalope, is mistaken for a saint and must prove himself by walking on water.

When he is captured by the malevolent Le Loup, his life is put in jeopardy until his cries for help are finally heard."--BOOK JACKET.

Work Description

Cherry Vanilla, twelve years old with a penchant for short leather skirts and make-up, has one dream: to become the most famous 'lot lizard', or truck stop whore, in the business. With his blond curls and his naked ambition he is determined to be more woman than most, and to match his idol, rival, and mother, Sarah. Adopting her name and sex, he heads off into the dangerous and fantastic worlds pocketed away in the West Virginian wilds. On his journey for fame he meets with sinister pimps, luck-restoring Jack-a-lopes, superstitious prostitutes who take him for a saint, and a host of bizarre and beautiful outcasts that make up his unusual, heartbreaking world.
