If You Think The Life of a Teenager is Easy...Think Again

March 12, 2012 - PRLog -- In Contorted: A Twisted life, Juliet Carr takes readers on a journey with 15-year-old Sharmeka Jackson. With a mother on drugs, she struggles to maintain normalcy while caring for her younger siblings.  As an educator, Juliet has encountered vast experiences in the classroom; enough to give society an inside look at the ongoing struggles of others both positive and negative. Some of those struggles are revealed in this sophomore novel.

Juliet says, “There are too many contrasting facts in the African American community that one can't help wondering the cause of a nationwide break-down in the homes of too many youth. How and when did morals and values vanish from the culture of so many African Americans?  How will parenting be restored among so many youth that are continuously being left to care for their younger siblings?  Who will parent the parents so that they will become better equipped to parent their kids?”
