IO Tillett Wright presents Darling Days, an extraordinary coming of age memoir set in the urban bohemia of 1980s New York’s Lower East Side, where punk, poverty, heroin, and art ruled the roost. Raised by single mother Rhona, a mercurial Glamazon showgirl, iO was encouraged from an early age to break boundaries. When a group of boys refuse to let six-year-old iO play ball, iO instantly adopts a new persona, becoming a boy. Harrowing and hilarious, Darling Days is a provocative examination of culture and identity, and of the courage and resilience of each child’s unique expression.
