Alice in Reality

Book Cover & Preview Text
Alice opens her eyes to look around the garage as she finished up her joint. The smoke began to mock images of Thomas. She can make out his face within the clouds. She watched his body form with it and he began to run, away from the smoke, away from her, until a second smoke strand caught up with him and tightened around his body, constricting more and more until Thomas was no more. Their night was gone but if Alice could, she would relive it. Maybe the Molly or maybe the weed but they both told her he was something extraordinary.

About the Book
This is Alice, but this is no wonderland. Alice, a first-generation Russian teenager, is a talented artist and advance student, but she holds secrets. She is a known substances abuser, and when she relapses, it’s worse than ever. Despite meeting what seems to be her savior, Alice must ultimately decide whether or not self-mutilation and mental health are worth the trip to wonderland.
About the Author
My father once told me “to be a successful writer, one must write about what they experienced because that is the key to true emotion” and ever since then, that is exactly what I have been doing. My writing reflects and analyzes the choices I make not only as a being but as the roles I play. Born in Colorado but raised as a Russian, I have not only experienced nature’s beauty but also the livelihood of many cultures leading to my bold lifestyle. No one is ever too young to conquer the greatest limitations. They simply become rewards. For me, writing was not only a passion but also an extension of my being, for I feel as if the arts are the only true way to be freed.
