Beschreibung

<p><i>Punching Bag</i> is the compelling true story of a high school career defined by poverty and punctuated by outbreaks of domestic abuse. Rex Ogle, who brilliantly mapped his experience of hunger in <i>Free Lunch</i>, here describes his struggle to survive; reflects on his complex, often paradoxical relationship with his passionate, fierce mother; and charts the trajectory of his stepfather's anger. Hovering over Rex's story is the talismanic presence of his unborn baby sister.</p><p>Through it all, Rex threads moments of grace and humour that act as beacons of light in the darkness. Compulsively readable, beautifully crafted and authentically told, <i>Punching Bag</i> is a remarkable memoir about one teenager's cycle of violence, blame and attempts to forgive his parents-and himself.</p>
