FictionShe's depressed, they say. Apathetic. Bridget Murphy, almost
eighteen, has had it with her zany family. When she is transferred
to the psych ward after giving birth and putting her baby up for
adoption, it is a welcome relief -- even with the manic ranting of
a teen stripper and come-ons of another delusional inmate. But this
oasis of relative calm is short-lived. Christmas is coming, and
Uncle Albert arrives to whisk her back to the bedlam of home and
the booze-soaked social life that got her into trouble in the first
place. Her grandmother raves from her bed, banging the wall with a
bedpan through a litany of profanities. Her father curses while her
mother tries to keep the lid on developmentally delayed Uncle
Rollie. The baby's father wants to sue her, and her friends don't
get that she's changed.
