{"product_id":"strange-fle-h","title":"Strange Fle$h","description":"Freddie Bickel is a degenerate and a louse. He is not a good man. He never wanted to be. But how things have changed.\nFreddie has spent his life being angry while mostly drunk and high. He has never been much of a friend or an employee, but sometimes life doesn’t come with choices. Some days all any man can do is hang on hoping he won’t die or go to prison. So far, Freddie is doing pretty good.\nSunday Jones is a young and pretty woman in her 20s but isn’t ready for life as a grown-up. Unable to adult alone, her mother Jerusalem is glad to keep her daughter at home, to help run her life. Most of all, Jerusalem wants to have a family again, but that is going to require more than good intentions.\nFreddie has a crush on Sunday, and she knows it. But her mother Jerusalem has taken a shine to the lousy security guard, despite his obvious flaws and has no problem using her daughter as the bait that will trap Freddie.\nEven though Freddie is willing to make a deal —to be Jerusalem’s common-law husband and father to this weirdly strung together family, as well as a personal drug dealer to them all— Freddie cannot seem to say no to Sunday’s autistic son, Octavius. In exchange for all this, Freddie wants only one thing; to have a home he has no right to claim as his own but one he has dreamed of having all his life.\nFor the first time in his miserable, wasted existence, Freddie Bickel will get to see what it is like to wear golden handcuffs; to be a husband and father, a man with responsibilities far greater than he could expect or imagine in order to have what he has always wanted — a place in this world where he belongs.\nNow all he has to do is not fuck everything up... like usual.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0C9S7RN3V\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0C9S7RN3V.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:West, Joe\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
