WHAT'S IT ABOUT?

Thomas Harrison (17) is determined to start his own Grunge band, an obsession that blinds him to what’s either the mental collapse, or eruption of musical genius, of his younger sister, Bridget (15). Bridget boldly rejects her brother’s music, and the music of an entire generation of slackers, by taking on the persona of a Gangsta’ Rapper named “Bri Da B.”

What "Dazed and Confused "did for 70’s movie-going nostalgia, "No Alternative" will do for 90’s movie-going nostalgia.

PRAISE FOR THE NOVEL

• “A sympathetic coming-of-age story deeply embedded in ‘90s music. The cool, casual tone results in knockout diagnoses of the ‘90s teenage condition: ‘You feel older as a teenager than you will ever feel in your entire life.’” -Kirkus Reviews
• “The novel—with its clear-eyed glimpse into the lives of a troubled family— satisfies.” -Publishers Weekly
• “A five star read, especially for Generation X.” -Versatile Book Reviews
• “'No Alternative' is a beautifully written character study, using both the early/mid-90s music landscape and cultural climate as mirrors to thoroughly human experiences.” -Independent Publisher
• “Pungent insights and quotable dialogue abound in this novel, which, in the end, movingly dramatizes the ability of art to transcend death and other human tragedies.” -Indie Reader
