HARRISON, Deloris

Journey All Alone

New York: Dial Press, 1971. First Edition. First Printing. Octavo (22cm). Cloth boards; dustjacket; 120pp. Trivial dusting to upper edge of text block, else Fine in crisp, unworn dustwrapper - an apparently unread copy.

Gritty, realistic young-adult novel by an African-American author. Set in Harlem and told from the point of view of a thirteen-year-old girl whose father abandons the family in pursuit of a jazz music career; the story concludes with the girl's violent rape by a pair of gang members. Uncommon, especially in such nice condition.

Price: $95.00
