520    "In 1996, poet Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, carrying 
       only two backpacks, caught a Greyhound bus in America and 
       ran away to Canada. She ended up in Toronto, where she was
       welcomed by a community of queer punks of color offering 
       promises of love and revolution, yet she remained haunted 
       by the reasons she left home in the first place. This 
       passionate, riveting memoir is a mixtape of dreams and 
       nightmares, of immigration court lineups and queer South 
       Asian dance nights; it is an intensely personal road map 
       and an intersectional, tragicomic tale that reveals how a 
       disabled queer woman of colour and abuse survivor 
       navigates the dirty river of the not-so-distant past and, 
       as the subtitle suggests, "dreams her way home.""--Page 4 
       of cover.
