Abstract Details

2022, MFA, Kent State University, College of Arts and Sciences / Department of English.
Growing is a story about a family in southern Ohio growing up and growing apart in 2006. Teenage sisters Harper and Kennedy are drinking and smoking their summer away with their best friend August when Kennedy stumbles upon the real reason behind their father’s preference to build their clubhouse in a remote area. Amidst their parents divorce, they struggle to cope with the reality of their deeply clandestine family secrets; meanwhile August is finding it harder to address his sexual identity as his bigoted father re-enters his family picture. Unbeknownst to the sisters, the family business has expanded into the wilderness of their childhood, and has attracted unwanted attention from people who’d like to see it permanently shut down. The kind of people who’d do anything to take it over, and would go to extreme lengths to silence anyone who gets in their way.
