Publisher Description
Eighteen year old Suzie wakes up one morning with a voice in her head, and no this is not the inspirational voice many young girls have when they are maturing, driving them to positive goals or pushing them to choose their paths into adulthood.
No, Suzie has woken up with a narrator in her head, quite literally narrating everything she does or says, instantly freaking her out and causing her to face a choice. She can ignore the voice and hope it goes away, or she can tell someone and risk being thought crazy. Unfortunately for her, Suzie chooses to ignore it, knowing her parents who came from China and have raised her quite conservatively would think her mad to say that some disembodied voice is narrating her entire morning.
Choosing to hastily dress, according to the narrator's direction, Suzie takes a walk, hoping the fresh air will clear her mind. What happens on that walk however clears a lot more than her mind, and results in a Suzie whose mind might be clear of worry but whose body is full of much more.
The narrator it seems is something more than merely a disembodied voice, describing her actions or words. The narrator somehow controls her actions and words as well, driving Suzie into acts she never would have imagined, much less enthusiastically partook in with strangers in a nearby park.
Suzie is a young girl becoming a woman, and Suzie finds herself helplessly Narrated.
