Riding In Cars With Boys

Confessions of a Bad Girl Who Makes Good.

Beverly Ann Donofrio didn't start out bad, although it didn't help that her initials spelled the word out in bold across her school folder. But when she learns there's no money to send her to college, Bev loses interest in everything but riding around in cars, drinking, smoking, and rebelling against authority. She's looking for trouble, and she gets it. "Trouble" as in, "is she in trouble?" As in pregnant. After her teenage marriage fails, she's left to bring up her baby alone. But Bev is too smart, too funny, and too determined to live life to the full to give up.

A terrifically honest and touching memoir, 'Riding In Cars With Boys' is a story of a teenage mother who, as her son grows up, becomes an adult herself.

Now a major motion picture starring Drew Barrymore.
