Blood Tender

Paula Anderson doesn't know where she's going or why. What she does know is that she's going to have one helluva time getting there. Blood Tender was culled from a series of online journal entries and, as far as we know, is the first literary blog to be published. (Her current journal is available here.) Blood Tender documents her nineteenth year of life. She reluctantly returns to her mother's house after failing out of college and an unsuccessful attempt at living on her own. But Paula doesn't need conventions - she'll make her own way through life. Told with lyrical beauty and punk rock passion, Blood Tender is a beat memoir for the digital age.
