Easy Meat by Rachel Trezise

Easy Meat

Rachel Trezise

This is a gritty snapshot of a young Welshman's desire to overcome barriers and change himself for the better. I empathised with his struggles and frustrations, grimacing as another challenge dragged him down, but cheered as he found a way to pull himself through. A brief and unflinching slice of Valley life with a unique voice.

CalebĀ had to get back to the point in his life when he'd been winning. It wasn't too late. All he had to do was get up off his weed-smoking arse and start running. If he could just cross the finish line in Swansea, he knew everything would fall into place. If he couldn't, he knew the few things he had going for himself were going to go to pieces.
