It’s the fall of 1934 and Angelica Osgood, the teenage daughter of a railroad tycoon, feels trapped in her hometown of Toledo, Ohio. Her mother died when she was twelve and her father is forcing her to marry a deep-pocketed investor. She sees no choice but to run away to California, where her mother’s relatives live. To get there, however, she’ll need help.Enter the Kid. The Kid and his pals are among the quarter of a million teenagers forced during the Great Depression to eek out an existence on the freights, riding from city to city and evading the railroad police. Attracted by Angelica’s beauty and her compassion for the down-and-out, the Kid teaches her how to ride the trains, beg a meal, and, in essence, become a tramp like him. But their journey faces incredible odds. The Kid’s best friend, a gypsy tomboy named Keja, who has secretly loved him for many years, plots against Angelica. Meanwhile, Angelica’s father commissions a sadistic, one-eyed railroad cop to hunt them down. As their love grows and the law closes in, Angelica and the Kid must choose between the road and the family life they once renounced.

This book started out to be an autobiography based on the happenings in my life but quickly started to convert into a real life lab study based on 30 years of unintentional study on the acts that surround lying. My experience, training, and endless conversations with others, granted me the empirical data I needed to organize my thoughts around what a life of lying is all about. It's a non-judgmental look at a topic that plagues every aspect of society that will clear up some of the gray areas surrounding it. It’s about those people who were victims and them finding out why they were victims, perpetrators and the endless cycle of remorse they feel, confusion that blankets a child’s life when adult topics are introduced through conversation or other abuses at an inappropriate age. It’s about me recording all my thoughts and the trouble spots in my life and how that relates to others who are confused about who they were, more importantly who they believe that they are. These thought processes are the start of a Core Defense bulge.
