Chapter One is a series of short stories, with each short story acting as the first chapter, or "chapter one," of the featured character's larger story.
Each short story is connected to and advances the others, culminating in an ending that will leave you wanting more.
The story is based in the heart of Boston; Charlestown, Massachusetts. And it follows the lives of two extended Irish Catholic families, spanning three generations, and the events that shape them. Strong language, strong emotions and stronger truths.
This compilation contains the first two "chapter ones" - Janey and Morgan.
In the first chapter one, originally titled "Tough Chick," we meet Janey, a strong-willed young woman at odds with the world around her, and herself. Thrust into a role she was never prepared for, we witness her battling back against circumstances that are beyond her control while creating a whole new set of circumstances that aren't, with destructive consequences.
The second chapter one features Morgan O'Connor. Morgan could be the girl next door, if the girl next door had mental problems. Hiding behind a camera in a vain attempt to mask volatile emotions and an overdeveloped sense of empathy, Morgan's interactions with the world are strained - and often hilarious.
Mirroring her life, Morgan's Chapter One finds her acting more as a peripheral character than a main one at times. She is an observer and easy to forget . . . until she chooses to jump to the forefront and make you remember her.
