Synopsis

Harry works as a nurse while taking classes to become a social worker. He cares for his elderly father and stepmom in the old mill town where he grew up in a trailer. In short chapters that replicate the fractured years of his early life, Harry tells the story of being raised by a father absent from endless work, a mom lost in hard drugs, and the criminals and samaritans that passed through their lives. This is the story of empty stomachs and cheap clothes, potato chips for dinner and mismatched socks. The way to succeed in the busted world of Harry's youth world was to make the Honor Roll then steal snacks on the way home from school. DOPE AND VODKA AND CIGARETTES, AND NOT SHAVING HER LEGS is a love song to the unloveable, a memory board stuck together with needles then propped up with empty bottles of booze. Everything is forgiven through story, and Harry wants to tell it all in the best way that the worst ways allow.
