"i have always been broken."
"i could have. "died.""
"and maybe it would have been better if i had. "
It is a day like any other when seventeen-year-old Melinda Jensen
hits the road for San Francisco, leaving behind her fractured home
life and a constant assault on her self-esteem. Henry is the
handsome, charismatic man who comes upon her, collapsed on a park
bench, and offers love, a bright new consciousness, and--best of
all--a family. One that will embrace her and give her love. Because
family is what Mel has never really had. And this new family,
Henry's family, shares everything. They share the chores, their
bodies, and their beliefs. And if Mel truly wants to belong, she
will share in everything they do. No matter what the family does,
or how far they go.
Told in episodic verse, "family" is a fictionalized exploration of
cult dynamics, loosely based on the Manson Family murders of 1969.
It is an unflinching look at people who are born broken, and the
lengths they'll go to to make themselves "whole" again.
