Описание: People dont leave the Point, even if they move far away. Or at least thats how it seems to journalist Kathy Dobson. Growing up in the 1970s in Point St. Charles, an industrial slum in Montreal, she sees how people get trapped in the neighborhood. In this sequel to the highly praised With a Closed Fist , Dobson shares her journey of trying to escape from what was once described as the toughest neighborhood in Canada. Kathy and her five sisters, raised by their single mother, deal with slum landlords, pervy uncles, and their father -- a mostly absent police officer who does occasional work on the side for the local mob. As Kathy grows up and starts attending college outside the Point, she has to learn how to survive in a new environment where problems arent solved by a good punch to the head.
