KZ Snow writes poetry in the form of prose in her book VISIBLE FRIEND. I can't tell you what the story is about because it is about whatever you want it to be: addiction, recovery, love, loss, acceptance, rejection...Chris is a recovering heroin addict. Ms Snow writes eloquently of the enslavement and lifelong torment this brings to Chris's life, as well as the tremendous strength of character required to move beyond it. Chris has a memory of watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade with his parents. Their inability to raise their almost-four-year-old son above the crowds to see Kermit go by is a metaphor for their inability to support him with unconditional love. A soldier steps in to lift the boy up, in more ways than oneWhat or who Denny is remains an enigma, but he is there when Chris needs someone to hold him and keep him from falling. It is when Chris is able to be the support Denny needs that we know Chris will be all right.This is a beautifully written book. I can't recommend it highly enough.
