Focusing on the survival strategies of abandoned and runaway queer youth, the book delves into informal support networks in the Tenderloin district of San Francisco from the 1950s onward. It examines the historical context of lodging houses and the relationships these youth formed with local figures, such as bartenders and hotel managers. Through various research methods, the author reveals how these communities fostered social support and resilience, creating a moral economy rooted in reciprocity amidst the challenges of marginalization.
