Set against the backdrop of a rough English inner-city suburb is Nottingham, an offbeat, comedic memoir of a California beach girl who rejects the usual plan for life and struggles to survive in an English ghetto with Jacob, her shopkeeper and slumlord boyfriend. To River’s shock, she discovers the town the rest of England calls, "Shootingham"; her neighborhood is not the mythical Sherwood Forest with fantastical merry men. Instead of the Legend of Robin Hood, she finds a community of alcoholics, drug-runners, immigrants, World War Two veterans, factory workers, rowdy teenage thieves, and pregnant single mothers on the dole. As the wild cast of characters tread in and out of the shop (often chased by the nation's first SWAT Team), River’s fantasy of Britain is smashed. Eventually, River discovers that Nottingham, like her own search for identity, direction, and love, held a harsher reality than she had anticipated, and a richer experience than she could have dreamed.
