A Wave to Ride is a coming-of-age Novel about my struggle into adulthood. Growing up in a modern society where I found solace and a place of retreat online on Instagram. Where my love of dressing up as celebrities grew me an audience of a million. I thought I was on top of the world at the age of 17, only to find my life and home to come crashing down, like the relentless waves. Soon I would find myself in the clutches of a horrible depressive state in the backseat of my car, exposed to the elements of abuse and desperation. A toxic cocktail of dark thoughts seemed to be creeping up on me, drowning out my cries to the world. C. All Rights Reserved, 26 Publishing, LLC.
