"Teen Angels," a play by Joey Bauer, is on kindle at last. Kids at juvenile hall and a fearless ally fight the power; only the strong survive. Meet the collateral damage, the boys and girls who might have been you or yours. Their pain has a long shelf life, and it demands to be felt. Based on a true story set to raw gangster rap and '60's golden oldies.
