Summary
Growing up in a world drenched in alcohol, abuse, and violence, fist-fighting for your life becomes routine. Rounding the jagged corners of childhood and entering the teenage years, you become submersed in the hard lessons of would-be romance. The developing adolescent mind falls into the many realms of self-destruction, left to drown in religion-induced guilt.THEN, solace appears in the form of a rock and roll band. But that sense of peace soon fades as you become the target of jealousies, more violence, and confusion. Is there a way out? Torn between society’s expectations and booze-fueled antics, there lies an intrinsic sense of humour, providing necessary lulls in a harsh world where hope often evades all.May this story remind you of the struggles of traversing that long, hard road between childhood and misguided youth.Was there ever really an age of innocence?
