The Trouble With Fred: The True Story of the Cook Street Gang: Part one
by Iman SaadePublish: Nov 27, 2019Biographies & Memoirs Book Overview
Iman, a Syrian Immigrant, recounts the day his brother, Fred, first tried to kill him. Overwhelmed with what nearly happened, Iman sits on his bed contemplating the roots of dysfunction in his family. The picture he paints evokes a better understanding of him in relation to his mother- and a brother he considers a "sociopath."
Iman is desperate to feel safe from Fred and knows that there really is no reprieve from his bitter essence. But, feeling safe comes in many forms and Iman finds it on his first day of summer break of his 8th-grade year when three strange kids come knocking on his door looking for Fred. What follows is part one of a true coming of age story that is disturbingly humorous.
