Out of the Frying Pan
Bittersweet tales of stumbling into adulthood
Andrew Whitehouse, Ben Whitehouse
Some of the stories include:
- A young prison inmate, who had been passed from home to home since he was three, writes a heartbreaking letter of thanks to his foster parents.
- A young woman struggles with an eating disorder that tears apart the lives of those she loves.
- One man remembers 'coming out' as gay to his Christian family.
- Another confesses to years of chaotic dates caused by his seemingly incurable anxiety around women.
'Growing up ... everyone has their moments of thinking they are jumping from the frying pan only to realise they have landed feet first into the fire ... Do yourself a favour and get stuck into reading these stories. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.' Ian 'Molly' Meldrum.
