In Scarsdale, Dan O'Brien applies to his own early life the same honesty and insight that were evident in his prize-winning War Reporter. Growing up in a family scarred by past trauma, he makes a bid for freedom-"in love with myself and this young stray's life"- only to be pulled back into the orbit of the place he had sought to escape. Gradually, possibilities for a more lasting change unfold.
