“The Perfect Life” by Philomena C Does Ali find the answers, he desperately seeks? Can there finally be resolve, if the heart of a broken teenager has been shred into slivers of unrecogniseable pieces? An account of family trials and tribulations; of teenage conflict .. and reconciliation; of worldly detest .. and universal compassion. Maybe, love and hate, do reside hand-in-hand .. This book is in solidarity with millions of growing adolescents who battle life-defining challenges, perhaps not all known to parents and guardians, the very people in places of authority who are thought to “show the way.”
