Description

An online community of millions follows with breathless anticipation as a young fugitive from injustice chronicles in real time an emotion-filled journey of escape and romance on his favorite medium and confessional: Yelp.


Woven into his odd, chatty Yelp reviews of restaurants, stores and services, 22-year-old Aspie Marcus Katz chronicles in vivid detail how, after the death of his doting mother, he is railroaded by the Los Angeles probate court into an abusive conservatorship. When his bullying conservator tries to warehouse him in a run-down, dead-end group home, intending to drain his inheritance, Marcus runs away to Oregon, pursued by his conservator, on a risky, ill-advised road trip to meet up with fellow Aspie Durinda, a devoted fan of his now viral Yelp reviews. She lives with others also on the autism spectrum on a collective farm in rural Oregon. It is here that Marcus hopes to make a stand and finally take control of his life.

Advance Praise

Another Howard Chesley page turner with a compelling story and a wonderful, engaging hero. Marcus Katz is an odd young man in his 20s with charm and grit, somewhere “on the spectrum.” One might think he had nothing in common Britney Spears or any celebrity. But Marcus does, in fact, share her dilemma as well as that of countless others unnamed:. He must do desperate battle with a powerful, unwanted conservator seeking to rule his life and drain his resources.
