The coconut fronds waving, shining like green hair in the sun, gave no clue.” Fifteen-year-old Jan is pregnant, gamely living off rice and whatever fish her boyfriend John can catch in Yelapa, Mexico. Her sojourn there–both thrilling and heartbreaking–marks the beginning of a life of restless wandering. Jan Kerouac, the only child of Jack Kerouac, first published her autobiographical novel Baby Driver in 1981. Fearless and frank, Baby Driver is the story of a difficult childhood, marked by maternal warmth and paternal disregard, and of the heady freedom and precariousness of self-reliance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lot 49 Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44466343870646,"sku":"9781681379739","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/3600\/9910\/files\/9781681379739.jpg?v=1765987052","url":"https:\/\/lotfortynine.com\/products\/baby-driver","provider":"Lot 49 Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
