In place of old Scrooge, A MAINE CHRISTMAS CAROL introduces the 16 year old TJ.
Having lost his father in Iraq, TJ turns to drugs to avoid facing the situation of
his personal sorrow. Alienating himself from family and friends, this Maine youth
must confront the three spirits whose appearance is promised by his father\'s ghost
who hopes to turn his son from the path of self destruction. The novel boldly
confronts the issues of teen drug abuse and suicide, single parenting, and the need
to take responsibility for one\'s own actions.
