Author Tupelo Hassman discusses her debut novel "Girlchild," which is set in a Reno trailer park. The book chronicles the life of a young girl, Rory Dawn Hendrix, as she tries to cope with life in poverty and deal with the pressures - and fears - of the expectations placed on her to escape that life.
