Margaret of Greenwich

A thirteen-year-old battles poverty, her school principal, and a determined murderer in the richest town in America



As Margaret's unwanted menstrual celebration party approaches she seems a typical thirteen year old of a fourth generation Mormon family. Except that her innocent boyfriend is facing jail, her girlfriend is sleeping with the notorious art teacher, Mr. Cylinder, and she fears that the next body which the police discover will be hers.



But Margaret has allies too: wealthy respectable Aunt Lena, who had been expelled from high school for selling marijuana; a disabled lawyer, her father; the Orisha God, Babaluaiye, her husband; and thirteen-year-old Randy who is the love of her life.
