A white lineman from Jim Crow Alabama is electrocuted in 1956 and wakes in 1972 San Francisco in the body of a young woman working the Tenderloin. Trapped in Cynthia Vance's life - her debts, her pimp, her purple boots - Jedidiah Pickett has to survive a world that rewired every rule he ever believed was natural law. A short, hard-eyed novel about the difference between order and weight.
