Sing Me to Sleep

Written in an insightful and provocative first person narrative, Sing Me To Sleep tells the story of teenager Rick Smith\222s first year at a small Kansas community college, where he chooses Music Education as his major. The narrator tells about his recent break-up with his high school sweetheart Cleo, his failed attempts at courting the opposite sex, and his confusion with society in general. Although it addresses suicide, Sing Me To Sleep is far from a feel good Hallmark book or a tale of whiney self-loathing. Reading Sing Me to Sleep is like throwing On The Road, A Catcher in the Rye, and The Bell Jar into a blender and infusing the mixture into a post 9/11 world. Authentic and riveting, Sing Me to Sleep is a startling look into the teenage worlds of sex, college, music, booze, depression, and suicide.
