The Never-Before-Told Story of the Girl Who Went On the Road with Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassady
Lu Anne Henderson was a beautiful 15-year-old girl in Denver in 1946 when she met Neal Cassady, fast-talking hurricane of male sexuality and vast promises. He told her he was going to enroll in Columbia to become a writer. He did marry her and took her to New York, but stole her uncle s car to get there. Although Neal never made it into a classroom, they were soon hanging out with many would-be writers, including Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. Lu Anne became the secret link between Kerouac and Cassady, helping to ignite the Beat Generation, and giving Kerouac material for one of the seminal novels of the twentieth century, "On the Road."
