Growing up with a mother who is a compulsive hoarder, fourteen-year-old Bun O'Keefe has lived her entire life inside an unsafe, unsanitary house with only old VHS tapes and random books to teach her about the outside world. When her mother tells her to leave, Bun finds herself alone on the streets of St. John's unprepared for the harsh realities of the streets . . .
A historical coming-of-age story set in 1980s Newfoundland, The Agony of Bun O'Keefe is a quirky, heartwarming story of friendship, loyalty and discovery.
"There's an abundance of humour both subtle and overt, and a shattering of stereotypes and tropes. This is a book that grabs readers by the heart and the head." -- Quill & Quire
