Description

A powerful debut novel with a riveting plot about drug addiction and a heart-breaking philosopher narrator, Indigo In D-Town is a blend of "Breaking Bad" and Catcher in the Rye, with a twist of magical realism thrown in. Finn is a teenager full of paradoxes: a drug dealer saving money to send his sister to Harvard, a boy with a love for wild birds, and a gentle soul addicted to heroin. After befriending the elderly Orah, Finn is introduced to a magical drug called Indigo. Like heroin, Indigo helps him forget about how he couldn't save his sister from a horrific injury. Soon, Finn is convinced dealing Indigo is a way out of the mess he's in and believes it will offer him redemption. As things quickly spiral out of control however, Finn contemplates taking his own life rather than face the potentially lethal consequences of his actions.

Kara has been a singer, songwriter, pianist and flautist since she was a child and has performed throughout the world.
