A struggling immigrant surprised to discover that money does not buy happiness. A creative boy struggling to please his dead father. An eco-warrior defying her entire town for what she believes is right. A father unable to reconcile the assault of his daughter with the world he raised her to believe in. A gay pastor in self-imposed exile from church and family. A stranger in a Santa suit dispensing fatherly advice. A granddaughter who must end the life of the woman who raised her. A survivor of a small-town drug addict determined to save her cousin from terrifying dreams. An anxiety sufferer who finds refuge in sadomasochism. A university student looking for love in all the wrong animal liberation schemes. In sharp, insightful prose, Boy With a Problem taps into the heart of our deeply human fear of failing to truly connect with others.
