Bathroom Poetry

NaNoWriMo
Bathroom Poetry is a heartbreaking account of the teenage years as lived and told by Ophelia. In the town of Arcata on the Northern California coast, "just up highway 101 from Eureka- which is far from San Francisco and ever farther from Los Angeles and San Diego," Ophelia is practically raised by her surroundings. Hippies, party animal college students, and her eccentric Native American grandparents all have to fill in to replace her vacant Mother and absent father. When tragedy strikes, Ophelia has no choice but to search for answers and healing while trying to hide the guilt she feels and the truth about what happened to the dancing boy from her High School. You'll laugh, then cry, relate, then cry again.
