Jimmy: A Novel

By Amber Hartley

Edgy. Clever. Emotionally penetrating...
A searing portrayal of the 21st century.

I think this desk sucked the life outta my ass...

Welcome to Mercury High and the opening thoughts of Jimmy--a.k.a. faithful friend, politically-pressured son, younger brother and sarcastic Senior trapped in a skinny body.

Jimmy tackles the hot issues of today--Iraq, the family dynamic, drugs, loyalty, freedom of speech, terrorism and other forms of shocking violence--unveiling the true intricacy of love and complexity of hate.

From the humorous antics of high school to a world spinning out of control, this is a journey from the very core of America to the outer edge of reason. And through it all, Jimmy must come to terms with the one betrayal he least expected. It's a revelation that poses the ultimate question--what of our tendency to label the world in black and white, right and wrong, us and them...Me and you?
