Sarah is a novel by Laura Albert, written under the name JT LeRoy, a persona that she has described as an "avatar,"[1] asserting that it enabled her to write things she could not have said as herself.
Sarah is narrated by an unnamed boy whose mother Sarah is a lot lizard: a prostitute who works the truck stops in West Virginia. She can be abusive and abandoning, yet he longs for her love and has begun wearing her clothes and imitating her.
