Description
A8/Audio book Cds Ex Library-in the case Narrated by Christina Moore Clipper Audio 6 cds-Unabridged-5.5 Hours
Beverly Ann Donofrio wasn’t B.A.D. because she hung out with hoods, she was bad because she acted like one. When her parents informed her that she’d better forget about college and study typing so she can get a “good job” when she graduates, she lost interest in everything but riding in cars with boys, drinking, smoking and rebelling, mainly against her Italian–American cop father. After her teenaged marriage failed, Bev found herself at an elite New England University, books in one arm, child on the other. Then, furnished with ambition, dreams and five hundred dollars, she took herself and her son to New York City to begin a career and a life. An outrageous and touching memoir, Riding in Cars with Boys, is a story about a teenage mother who as her son grows up, becomes an adult herself. Riding in Cars with Boys has been translated into fifteen languages. It was made into a well-loved motion picture, starring Drew Barrymore and directed by Penny Marshall. Donofrio was a producer.
Denied college, Beverly Donofrio lost interest in everything but riding around town in cars, drinking and smoking, and rebelling against authority. She got married and divorced and finally ended up in an elite New England university, books in one arm, child in the other. A book about the compromise between being your own person and fitting into society.
