Theo and Sprout: A Journey of Growth
by Joseph Gergen
Genre:
Literary Fiction (YA)
About the Book:
While Theo longs for some guidance through the perils of adolescence, the guidance he knew his family wouldn’t give him, he isn’t prepared for Sprout, his inner Divine Feminine, to present herself and offer it to him. In fact, he doesn’t appear to have a choice since Sprout, sassy and confident about her presence, won’t go away.
Read an Excerpt:
SPROUT. My brother had no idea the impact the nickname he derisively gave me would have. Neither of us knew how unwittingly appropriate it would become. Was it destiny or self-fulfilling prophecy? I don’t know. Memories and dreams and possibilities like to mix together. As far as my past is concerned and the makeup of who I am and what shaped me, I can make no distinction between memory and reality and dream. I usually don’t try.
While I certainly don’t remember all of my childhood, and
many aspects are densely foggy, I remember with clarity the day my life
changed. I was preparing for school in the basement bathroom—the small, cramped
bathroom that seemed more like a large porta-potty with a shower than an actual
bathroom. Wet towels covered the floor and almost all available surfaces.
Countless toiletries jumbled themselves wherever space allowed them to balance
or stack. Most of these did not belong to me. They belonged to my collection of
brothers and sisters. I had a toothbrush. I knew that. Usually, I found
toothpaste. If I absolutely needed a less common toiletry, I picked through a
baffling array of products, many of which I had no understanding, until I found
something useful.
