Sarah är berättelsen om den förlorade sonen förflyttad till den värld som de amerikanska lastbilshaken och deras parkeringar utgör. Berättaren är en androgyn tolvårig pojke som avgudar sin mamma Sarah, en truckerhora. Men bristen på kärlek från Sarah leder till att han lämnar henne och lastbilsparkeringens trygga värld. Förförd av sin dröm om att bli lika känd som sin mamma, att bli den mest kända truckerhoran någonsin, tar han hennes namn, klär på sig hennes kläder och påbörjar en bisarr och vacker resa genom sydstaternas USA. JT Leroy är pseudonym för Laura Albert, född 1966 och uppväxt i Brooklyn, New York. Albert uppfann Leroy som persona i mitten av 90-talet och har sedan dess givit ut tre böcker under detta namn. JT Leroy har också skrivit romanen Hjärtat är bedrägligast av allt. »JT Leroys självbiografiska bok Sarah, om en 12-årig pojke som liksom sin mamma säljer sig till lastbilschaffisar i sydstaterna, gjorde honom snabbt till indieikon när den kom 2000.« Karoline Eriksson, Svenska Dagbladet

Fully revised and updated. Queen Elizabeth II was the longest-serving monarch in British history, with a reign even longer than Queen Victoria. Her extraordinary life is expertly portrayed by Jennie Bond, former BBC royal correspondent, in this magnificent visually led biography.
