At a family meeting, Ror declares her purpose: She is an artist.
┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а But she doesnтАЩt really know what that means. Raised on a commune, sheтАЩs never attended a day of school, and has seen little of the outside world. What she knows best is drawing. To her, itтАЩs like breathing; itтАЩs how she makes sense of the world.
┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а When her father torches the communeтАФand himselfтАФRorтАЩs life changes. She, her mother and sister end up in a homeless residence in Manhattan, where she runs into troubleтАФand loveтАФwith Trey, the leader of Noise Ink, a graffiti crew.
┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а On the cityтАЩs streets, and in its museums and galleries, Ror finds herself pulled in different directions. Her father wanted her to make classic art. Noise Ink insists she stay within their lines. Her art teacher urges her to go to college. What does she want?
┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а┬а RorтАЩs journey is a seamless blend of words and pictures, cinematic in its scope--a sharp-edged, indelible work of art that will live inside your head.
