Jarold, aka, Jazz, is a
typical sixteen year old boy. He lives at home with his two
remarkably un-divorced parents, his holier-than-thou sister, and his
overbearing grandmother. It’s a life straight out of a TV show.
Or so it seems…
The truth is that Jazz’s
life is anything but picture perfect. He’s seeing a shrink
because his mom and dad found out he’s gay; his schoolmates
torment him every day; and he keeps bumping into his high school
teacher at a local gay bar. To make matters worse, his best friend,
Al, keeps pulling him into trouble. Jazz knows he has to keep
everything together, at least through finals, so he can get away from
this life once and for all. But, in his haste to leave everything
behind, he comes to find out that the only thing he can’t
escape is himself.
Witty, sardonic, and incredibly
funny, My Side of the Story is the perfectly rendered portrait
of a precocious, troubled teenager faced with the awkward process of
growing up and coming out.
