Angry Management

A parent would reach for this book when their teenager is struggling with intense feelings of injustice, systemic frustration, or a sense of being 'broken' by past circumstances. This collection of three novellas features characters who have been pushed to their limits by authoritative figures, family trauma, or social pressures. It explores how anger can be a destructive force, but also a catalyst for positive change when channeled through connection and honesty. Parents will appreciate the raw realism and the author's background as a therapist, which provides a grounded, non-judgmental look at adolescent pain. While the language and situations are gritty, the stories ultimately offer a roadmap for resilience and the importance of finding a community that hears your voice. It is most appropriate for older teens who are ready for mature themes and complex moral dilemmas.
