Summary of Beautiful Children: A Novel
One Saturday night in Las Vegas, twelve-year-old Newell Ewing goes out with a friend and doesn?t come home. As the boy?s distraught parents navigate the mystery of what?s become of their son, the circumstances surrounding Newell?s vanishing and other events on that same night reverberate through the lives of seemingly disconnected strangers: a comic book illustrator in town for a weekend of debauchery; a painfully shy and possibly disturbed young artist; a stripper who imagines moments from her life as if they were movie scenes; a bubbly teenage wiccan anarchist; a dangerous and scheming gutter punk; a band of misfit runaways. These ?urban nomads,? each with a past to hide and a pain to nurture, search for salvation as they barrel toward destruction, weaving their way through a neon underworld of sex, drugs, and the spinning wheels of chance.United States Books
