About this title

Synopsis

Splinter is the story of Maggie, a unique but otherwise unremarkable teenager growing up in Anywhere, USA. Her life begins to unravel as the first signs of paranoid schizophrenia rear their ugly heads. Set in the nineties, her story is one fraught with fear, delusion, and uncertainty worsened by her drug use to cope with her new realities-plural.

The narrative takes both Maggie - and the reader - through the years and the progression of her condition to the darkest corners of her own mind, or wherever her increasing madness decides to take her.

Maggie must eventually answer the question that will shape and define her destiny as well as that of those who love and care about her:

What kind of life can one live when their own mind is working against them?
