This is my favorite stories of all time.
The characters within it are fairly problematic and so I think some of the language (especially some of the more outdated phrases) may be triggering for some people to read. Proceed with caution.
“This book made me think about my own life.”
Samuel Hunter wrote this beautiful, thought-provoking screenplay in such an incredible way.
There is major character growth in these pages; more than I typically see in full novels.
This, all in all, is a hard look at the different ways we are each affected by trauma and the way it is still on display even when we internalize it.
It’s a call to be honest and authentic.
