Wickedly penned by Dr. Jordan B. Peterson, best-selling author of
12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos
,
An ABC of Childhood Tragedy
unforgettably depicts the doomed and desperate lives of Adella, Bertram, Cynthia and their cohort of catastrophe.
Twenty-six dark and witty poems, each a tragic comedy of innocence and vulnerability. Twenty-six hauntingly beautiful portrayals of injustice and suffering, each from the gifted imagination of Juliette Fogra, illustrator of

might just be the book you’ve been pining for.
