    About this ebook

    "a story about young people finding their way to the goodness of the world, each other and themselves amid the complexities of family and love, apathy and expectation, and the weight of responsibility that comes with giving a damn."

    Daniel has two friends and a shitty job at the Canadian Tire gas station. Life is fine. When he takes Stephen into his parents' home to protect him from an alcoholic father, Daniel sees another side to life and friendship. Life is hard and nothing makes sense. Alcohol and faith are strange drugs and yes, people do change. Also there is Alice and girls never make things any easier. Nobody asks to be here, but here we are. Everyone gets to decide what to do and who to be and there might actually be someone up there watching. "A Good Death to Self" is a novel about friendship, freewill, faith and change. It's got drinking, romance, existential confusion and a good amount of swears.

      The night, as most nights, was like a dream. At ten, once I’d fed the dog the last scraps off the stove. Once I’d cursed the cat for scratching up my mama’s antique furniture, then welcomed him back into my arms. Once I’d slicked my hair into a ponyt

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go
