The stories deal with a wide array of difficult situations: heroin addiction, being gay in a straight culture, being burned in a flash fire, having ADHD, arriving in the U.S. from a refugee camp, having strong suicidal impulses, being the recipient of domestic violence, experiencing the death of one’s infant son, and many more. They are grouped into four sections: death, family, hurdles, and transitions, which represent the four major themes of the book.
Each story describes the difficult situation in detail and the process by which it was overcome.
Each story contains drama, some of it intense. How will Jenni escape from the empty truck in which she is locked (Escaping My Heroin Addiction)? What will Ellen find when she opens the door to the apartment in which she and her husband live (Found Dead)? Will Bobby ever admit to himself that he is gay (Growing Up Gay)?
