The only person she feels she can talk to is punk rock high priestess and frontwoman to a legendary LA band, Exene Cervenka. Reeling from Ryan's disappearance, Lia writes letters and poems to Exene every day. She can relate to Exene--but if they were to ever meet, would Exene be able to relate to her? With Exene and her band's searing soundtrack as her chief inspiration, Lia dives head-first into a dark and spiky counterculture rife with confrontation, shifting alliances, and unsettling insights into what Ryan was doing and what might have happened to her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet against the backdrop of the 1980s heyday of LA punk rock, \u003cem\u003eThe Exene Chronicles\u003c\/em\u003e sings of the coming of a new age for all girls in America who have been disenfranchised by the spaces they identified as their own.
