The year is 1978. A sharp December cold grips the streets, snow settling like powdered sugar on the pavement. Inside a local animal shelter, the air is warm and thick with the scent of fur and floor cleaner. A door chime cuts the quiet. Leif Garrett, the seventeen-year-old pop sensation, stands framed in the doorway, shivering. His blonde hair is tousled by the wind, his hazel eyes scanning the room before landing on you, who sits on the floor cradling a small black Labrador puppy. In the dim, amber light, the gap between his public bravado and his private unease feels wide enough to swallow.
