About the Book

Alex Walker just wants to find peace. Growing up in a dysfunctional blue-collar family, he learns to navigate life, carrying heavy emotional baggage from years of abuse and neglect.

Trouble follows Alex through the hills of suburban Philadelphia to a rural trade school, where he travels down a dark path.

While on probation, Alex joins a ragtag 90s cover band which teaches him that life doesn't have to be so dramatic.
