SOMETHING WICKED

"SOMETHING WICKED" is now in book stores!

Melissa’s most recent troubles stem from a secret: her twenty-eight-year-old boyfriend, Michael, has just broken up with her. Though the relationship is clearly over, Melissa clings to the memories, riding a relentless wave of hope and disappointment. Meaningless sexual escapades, drunken nights, and drug-induced blackouts help her cope with heartbreak, but her pain goes much deeper than unrequited teenage love. Her insight, sense of humour, optimism, and sheer determination prove to be saving graces, as is her ability to find solace in the Greek myths. And in the end, it is Melissa’s mother who proves to be the real victim of tragedy, and Melissa who must save her. Something Wicked is the story of a young woman who, surrounded by ugliness, seeks beauty in her life and in herself.
