Wild Game Without Borders
Wild Game Review
They say that truth is stranger than fiction. Truth also has resonance that strikes deep. Your heart goes, "Yeah, feels real." Wild Game will take you on a disturbing emotional ride, but it feels good because the characters are genuine. Families aren't perfect, and mothers can be self absorbed.
When the family has money, but is dysfunctional, things can get very interesting.
We all grow up in families. Often we do not know our own private dysfunction. We can see it in other families, and gossip about it, but our own can be buried, only to remain ghostly in our unseen places. This book is about secrets, and lies, and how dysfunction can travel down a family line and travel far in the unconscious.
In Wild Game, a teenage daughter is caught in her mother's web. The daughter gives up her childhood to be her mother's best friend and confidant. Innocence is lost before it has a chance to mature, and the consequences last a lifetime. Not all damage can be undone, but one can come to see and acknowledge it. Boundaries can be drawn where they weren't before. Maturity can be achieved. But there is a price.
