Summary of Dave Kindred's Leave Out the Tragic Parts

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Stray was a 17-year-old girl who had gotten a facial tattoo. She’d been dealing with weird foster care arrangements in the sticks and cornfields of Colorado. Jared gave her a drink, and she told him about how her parents had divorced and how she lived with her mother, who let her quit school in the sixth grade. #2 Jared met Stray Falldowngoboom in front of a CVS, and she agreed to take him to New Orleans for Halloween. She explained to him that riding trains wasn’t that hard, and that his only rule was not to do anything stupid. #3 At the yard in Colton, California, Goblin and Stray met up with a midget and a one-eyed man who offered them vodka. The four then rode to Barstow, sharing two half-gallons of vodka that encouraged them to scratch tattoos into their arms. #4 Stray and her crew were arrested in Yuma, Arizona, after trying to steal a purse downtown. They were hoping to buy two half-gallons of bottom-shelf vodka and steaks for dinner.
