TRIGGER WARNING! The subtext and theme in the book may be upsetting to some readers. Our lead character, Eric, is plagued by obsessive compulsive behavior and social isolation in his rural hometown. His abusive father holds his family hostage to his reckless habits. While Eric's parents evade the problems, Eric is left to fend for himself with the help of his beloved sister and protector, Sarah. A heated exchange between the parents implies dark secrets swarm just outside Eric's perception, and threaten Eric's future. Longing for acceptance while body shame, misconceptions of others, and self harming tendencies progressively blind him, Eric slips dangerously close to adopting the persona he fears most in this twisted coming-of-age novella.
