Senior Anonymous, (Paperback)

Senior Anonymous is about the one year that Matt was a senior. It goes through the chronological series of adventures and misadventures that Matt and his friends managed to do for that year. It recalls so many of the classmates, teachers, coaches, and strangers who added to that year that is supposed to be such a vital springboard into life. The story leans heavily upon the drinking and smoking that became a partner in all the activity, whether it was school or after-school events. And clearly the events are intended, as they were then, to bring some laughter. There is an undertone, though, of the early days and signs of someone who is becoming an addict and alcoholic. There is an update summary of the lives and situations as they are today that sometimes reflects sarcasm, but a sense of happiness and spiritual contentedness as well.
