The Crocodiles Will Arrive Later
Kathy McCoy had three major fears: first, that she would grow up to become a suburban housewife with no power of her own; second, nuclear annihilation; third, that her father would kill her.

A memoir of horror and humor, The Crocodiles Will Arrive Later tells the story of growing up in mid-century suburban Los Angeles. It is a story of hope and learning how to let go of a painful past to create a very different future.
