Scattered Garbage - Hardcover

by Dawn Rodger (Author), Eliyana May (Illustrator), Phoebe Josephine (Editor)

Growing up in the 1980s in Scarborough, Ontario was simply the best, it was freedom.

Children woke at dawn to watch Saturday morning cartoons. They would put on their Walkmans, jump on their bikes and stay out all day until the streetlights came on; stopping at the local variety store for popsicles, Nerds or Bubblicious.

They would play by the lake on the train tracks, or even stop off at the local library to get the latest Nancy Drew book. There were no cell phones, no social media ... just baseball diamonds, skipping ropes, pools and dirt to play in.

But that all changed for teenagers Jennifer, Elizabeth, and Samantha when the Scarborough Rapist started terrorizing their city. No one knew who he was, and the number of assaults and rapes were rapidly growing. All three girls were scared, and their idyllic city was not safe anymore.

Jennifer is attacked in the parking lot of her high school, Elizabeth starts dating an abusive narcissist, and Samantha is raped by her boyfriend. What the women don't realize, is that the real monsters are men they all know.

Years later, as they try to rebuild their lives, they must hatch a plan to finally take revenge, and make the men pay for what they did.
