It can be brutal enough just growing up a girl. Then add poverty, addiction, and God to the mix. Armed with a gun and a prayer, Emma and her cat bravely go where too many girls have gone before. It’s a war, and we gotta win it!
This is a story about family, childhood, and the complex ways in which we are formed as people. Emma navigates a dysfunctional adult world of addiction, patriotism, faith, and the pervasive sexualization of young girls. Her challenge is to emerge with a sense of self.
