Chloe Doe

Chloe Doe chronicles a 17-year-old girl’s tumultuous path to becoming a prostitute and her ultimate transformation back into mainstream society. During her therapy at Madeline Parker Institute for Girls, Chloe slowly reveals aspects of her painful past–the stepfather who abused her sister, the mother who let it all happen, the need to love and be loved–and faces the future she finally decides to build for herself. Told in heart-wrenching language that’s sometimes caustic, often ironic, and always authentic, Chloe Doe is certain to find a place among classics about teens that triumph over their loneliness and desperation to find hope.
