A young artist, raised in seclusion, is thrust into the chaotic streets of Manhattan after a devastating event takes away everything she knows. “Shimmers with authenticity and the actual dynamics of what it’s like to be a teenager facing both the volatile world of street art and the insular nature of high art.”—Ron English, acclaimed street artist, culture jammer, and designer of PopagandaAt a family meeting, Ror declares her purpose: She is an artist. But she doesn’t really know what that means. Raised on a commune, she’s never attended a day of school, and has seen little of the outside world. What she knows best is drawing. To her, it’s like breathing; it’s how she makes sense of the world.When her father torches the commune—and himself—Ror’s life changes. She, her mother and her sister end up in a homeless residence in Manhattan, where she runs into trouble—and love—with Trey, the leader of Noise Ink, a graffiti crew.On the city’s streets, and in its museums and galleries, Ror finds herself pulled in different directions. Her father wanted her to make classic art. Noise Ink insists she stay within their lines. Her art teacher urges her to go to college. What does she want?Ror’s journey is a seamless blend of words and pictures, cinematic in its scope—a sharp-edged, indelible work of art that will live inside your head.
