Adam Donahue has a twisted sense of humor. His wife, Jessica, is a
dedicated kindergarten teacher. Their comfortable life together is
rocked by what happens to one of Jessica's students.
Donna Jo Crawford is the type of student who breaks her
teacher's heart. Unlike most students, she hates weekends. She has
the Monday morning smile and the Friday frown. Typical of children
whose parents are drug abusers, she is desperate for attention.
When her parents' lethal brew of methamphetamine explodes, she
becomes a burn victim and an orphan. She fights first for survival,
and then to overcome her scars, both physical and mental.
"Picking Up Jellyfish" gets its title from a seemingly
innocuous childhood event, but that event takes on added
significance in light of Donna Jo's quest to overcome her new
challenges. Hers is a story of courage, yet it is told through
Adam's unique and often humorous point of view.
