Blooming Where Planted by Adam Sculnick pdf epub fb2

Blooming Where Planted takes its readers along the winding path of a troubled teenager, his mother the a bargaining enabler, and an alcoholic layabout who constantly brags of sobriety. The nameless "family" battle amongst each other while each takes their turn(s) respectively, with drug abuse, alcoholism, mental disease, self-mutilation, death, sex, divorce and a slew of denial-based love lives. the "boy" turns hatred and anxiety inward, until only secretive self-destruction makes his life bearable. Eerily representative of the status quo. This novel proves that a teen with an addiction can be more than just a statistic, that parents can be just a screwed up as their children, and that basically, when life has it in for you, don't hesitate to fire back.
