Deviation // Henry — P.D. Workman

Award-winning author P.D. Workman's gut-wrenching story of Henry's battle against neglect and abuse.
“You're a good kid, Henry.”
Everyone knew that he was a good guy; geeky, responsible, hard-working. Henry has had a lot to deal with in the past. Now, as he should be focusing on his schooling and preparing himself for the future, he is hindered by abuse, the challenge of raising his baby brother while dealing with his mother's deep depressions, and the return of a ghost from the past Henry has tried his best to forget.
But it seems that Henry can't avoid the nastiness of life. As hard as he tries, it's one more disaster after another as his life spirals out of control.
Can Henry escape the darkness, or is he doomed to be consumed by it?
