Over the next two years he struggles with drugs, sexual orientation, insanity, old ghosts, and first loves as he assembles a makeshift family of fellow misfits. But as this family begins to crumble, Moon is blindsided by a discovery that upends his lifes narrative. Venice Beach is a coming-of-age story like no other. In this novel, a teenager comes of age under the most turbulent family circumstances...
