Borderline Normal
|
Fifteen-year-old Jeremy’s world is coming apart. Mom has moved to Windsor, Ontario, and Dad has stayed in Detroit with his eldest son. Caught in the middle of an ugly custody battle, Jeremy moves between the warring parents, loving them both. Jeremy is a young man whom everyone wants a piece of: his mother wants him for company and revenge, his girlfriend wants him to be the man in her life, his coach wants him to help the track team win, his brother wants him to get lost, and his father is absolutely dead set on having him return home… but for reasons that remain intriguingly suspect. Borderline Normal is a compelling, edgy coming-of-age story that offers an engrossing and entertaining look at family politics at their direst.
