Publisher Description: If you're the biggest kid in high school, you can't help but to be seen. If you look exactly like the town drunk, it's impossible to hide. In A Weight Lifted, bad luck and a lifetime of an alcoholic father's secrets leave a young man searching for the light in his dark world.Trying to survive high school and an abusive father, Daniel Brock must face his own problems while avoiding his monster of a parent. When a fish-loving girl and a six-fingered boy befriend him, Daniel begins to find life isn't as bad as it seems, at least not at school. At home, his father's past and a life-changing secret about his mother turn Daniel's world upside down. After taking a stand against the school bully, Daniel's school counselor, Coach Janssen, takes him under his wing and gives Daniel an outlet for all his bottled up anger and frustrations--powerlifting. With his two new friends and a musclebound mentor, Daniel sets out to find just how strong he can really be. |
