Duggan

Based on a true story. Duggan is a forgotten neighborhood. It is a place where love once grew and life and family were once cherished. The people who lived there called it home. However, something came in and made the neighborhood change courses. Part of this change is caused by time, the rest by an unexpected phenomenon that psychologically damaged the people within. Now, it is a misplaced neighborhood. Spoken with honesty, Duggan tells the story of several individuals from different backgrounds, ethnicities, and class whose lives are intertwined by one decaying neighborhood. Divided into six sections, Duggan is a novel connected through thematic content rather plot, through race, a search and struggle for identity, through lost beauty, a struggle for place, through spirituality, family conflict, hatred, and drugs rather than order. Now each individual is left to fend for self, to fight and renegotiate their lives in an attempt to escape death or a deathlike state before it is too late.
