Sharp Obsidian

by Joseph Suste

Sharp Obsidian is a weekly audio drama by author Joseph Suste. A new twenty minute segment is published every Tuesday.

The story lays bare the inner struggles of a father and his strong-willed teenage daughter when she begins to test life's boundaries. Her father refuses to let destructive influences twist her morals and dispirited, he commits his daughter to a teen recovery camp. She is indignant but meets the challenge with grit, uncovers her true essence and matures into a savvy young woman.

Julia - A headstrong fourteen-year-old challenging her parents for control as she experiments with life's temptations. If you are fourteen, have ever been fourteen or are the parent of a fourteen-year-old, you will find a connection to Julia.

Steven - Julia's father, frightened by the choices his daughter is making and determined to protect her. Any father of a teenage daughter will understand where Steven is coming from and recognize his fear.
