by Sam Cameron
Even Grandpa knows this won’t work, but he hates the food in rehab.
Here’s what I hate: hoarding. This house. My mom, who I also love. I hate anything and everything that stands in the way of my going to Paris and letting Toni out from under the suffocating blanket she’s been hiding under all her life. My life.
I’m Tony Tucket, soon to be Toni T, and this is my story.
