Sharp Obsidian lays bare the inner struggles of a father and his strong-willed teenage daughter when she begins to test life’s boundaries. Her father refuses to let destructive influences twist her morals and dispirited, he commits his daughter to a teen recovery camp. She is indignant but meets the challenge with grit, uncovers her true essence, and matures into a savvy young woman.

Julia – A headstrong fourteen-year-old challenging her parents for control as she experiments with life’s temptations.
“If you are fourteen, have ever been fourteen or are the parent of a fourteen-year-old, you will find a connection to Julia.”

Steven – Julia’s father, frightened by the choices his daughter is making and determined to protect her.
