Small Fish Big Fish: A coming of age Novel (ePub)

A coming-of-age story for all generations

Jamie is searching for meaning in his life.

He's seventeen and can't figure out where he fits in, or what his future might hold, but he hopes one day to meet someone he can share his ideals with, his doubts, and his dreams. Then again, he's shy, and the girls in this neighborhood aren't really his type.

Jamie lives in a part of town where graffiti is splashed on walls, not as folk art, but as an expression of anger by those unlucky enough to live there. Until now though, he's managed to fly under the radar of the local gangs.

When he finds some money on the floor of the corner store, Jamie thinks his luck is in. But sometimes, what seems like Fortune's kindly smile can be a mask hiding a twisted and cruel face.

The seemingly innocuous decision to keep the money triggers a series of events that trap Jamie in a quagmire of deception and criminality, pursued by an adversary who seems determined to destroy his life.

Small Fish Big Fish is a powerful coming-of-age novel, a psychological thriller about teen violence and bullying, and a moving story of family and young romance.

Adults and older teenagers will love the authentic 20th-century setting, the drama, and the suspense brought to life by PJ McDermott's gritty biographical fiction.

Paperback and Hardcover versions are also available and make a perfect gift for any with Scottish heritage or those who simply enjoy a good read.
