From the rare perspective of a ninety-year-old who experienced America's underbelly in the 1940s, Leaving Lila is a firsthand account of a frightened boy who escaped horror only to find more trouble. But along the way, he also found love in encounters so intense they were indelibly imprinted upon his memory.

William Baker was an extraordinary man, and this brief memoir provides a fascinating insight into his life and work.
