Far Edge of Seventeen

Synopsis

"My mom died in September and I'll turn 18 in December". This is the far edge of Seventeen.

This is the story of how a wild, rebellious teenager deals with teenage alcohol use, sexual exploration while remaining a virgin, and the rejuvenation of her relationship with her mother who is near death.

Then the coping after her death, the introspection and reflection on her young life and finally a brave trip to France to attempt to understand her mother better.

Chloes' mother's religion, scientology, and her father's, Buddhism, weave their influence through her adventures and outlook.

Raw and compelling, sometimes funny, frequently sad, she moves forward, leading to growth and renewal, Chloe writes as she lives.
