Description
Explicit Content Warning
"A Way Back Home" is the harrowing tale of a boy's journey through the depths of incest and violence. It is a story based on actual events, told by the author's best recollections through long-repressed memories of intense pain and heartache.
The book itself is a traumatic read and is not recommended for anyone who is easily triggered or offended. Mr. Kowalski recounts these dark few months of his late adolescence with unapologetic candor. The unsuspecting reader is swept into the warped reality of these events and carried along the downward spiral of sexual, emotional and physical abuse.
When 57-year old Jane finds herself abandoned by her husband, she turns to her son for the companionship she so desperately craves. No one would suspect the twisted and unnatural events unfolding behind the closed curtains of her middle-class, middle-American home. No one would come to rescue her prey.
Even as young Jack tries to fend off his seductive, manipulative and emotionally-starved mother, he finds his body betraying him time and time again. Trying to make sense of the senseless, Jack's physical and emotional health begin to unravel as violence and lust hijack his world.
At a time when a teenage boy is just beginning to define his sexuality, few events could be more damaging. It is a story that must be told and a subject that demands exposure.
"Brilliant and vile and terrifying. It's how 'The Catcher in the Rye' should have been written."
