THIS STORY DEPICTS SCENES OF MENTAL HEALTH, SUICIDE, AND EMOTIONAL ABUSE. READER DISCRETION ADVISED.
Tanya is a seventeen year old military kid who has undertaken her eighth move in the last ten years. While many of her online friends would perceive it as a great privilege to see the world at such a young age, Tanya doesn't think so. The continuous cycle of change -- rapidly gaining and losing friends, her father's descent into alcoholism, and her mother's emotional abuse -- paired with her crippling social anxiety and psychological troubles have made it hard for her to establish a sense of identity, eroding her self-worth hour by hour, day by day. Of Beasts And Monsters is a story that peers into the minds of young people stricken with psychological turmoil and displays their ability to persist against all odds, demonstrating the bravery, strength, and kindness our world desperately needs.
