In 2003, 20 years after her mother's untidy death, Loli Greene is hired by an almost bankrupt theatre company to travel across the United States to teach tired, toxic teenagers to tap into their creative unconscious, so that they might better understand the world of their ancestors - and the world at large. A sometimes raunchy, always entertaining book that reads like a cross between Fried Green Tomatoes and Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.
