Synopsis:
Jake's girlfriend is pregnant, his worst nightmare come true. Overwhelmed with memories of a drunk abusive father and a miserable childhood, Jake doesn't think he's fit to be a dad. Now, he must make an impossible choice: clean up and get his life together (and lay off the booze while he's at it), or get rid of the problem...
Review:
I wasn't sure what to expect when I started reading Daddy's Boy by Majanka Verstraete,
but wow, I was pleasantly surprised. What a wonderful short!
It was real and gritty. The reader can feel the emotions and ride along with Jake as he
experiences his journey.
Although this story is short, the characters are fully formed and the story is definitely a ride.
Ms. Verstraete is an amazing new author, and I look forward to her future work.
