Life has been anything but easy for 17-year-old orphan, Harriet Vanderhorn, a morally corrupt teenager, forcibly raped and impregnated by a homeless transient. Adamant that she does not want the baby, she is coerced by her social worker and foster parents not to abort. She gives birth to an adorable baby girl, who she names Gloria. For Harriet's 18th birthday, her foster father, Dan Smith, gives her enough money to sustain her for a few years. Needing to get away, Harriet moves to Cowdung, Tennessee. With no sense of direction and a town full of predators, Harriet does not stand a chance. Harriet, with Gloria in tow, begins a rapid descent into the fiery depths of hell.

The author, a computer science professor diagnosed with terminal cancer, explores his life, the lessons that he has learned, how he has worked to achieve his childhood dreams, and the effect of his diagnosis on him and his family.
