Pushed is both a literary and poetic novel, a complex coming of age story with a red leather booted killer that may or may not exist outside the confines of the protagonist's mind, college students and the elusive meaning of dreams as well as the damage caused by physical and emotional abuse.

Pushed takes place between 1991 and 2000 as sex, relationships, sanity and madness become irrevocably intertwined and suffocating.

Update September 2022 - hopefully in the final editing process
