Pill Hill

Pill Hill, Nicholas Breutzman's darkly funny and utterly heartbreaking memoir, plunges the reader into a world of horrifying Tinder dates, flea markets, lizard people, child protective services, black holes, time travel, and stress-induced psychosis.

Nic and Henry--father and son--stumble on an old forgotten

park and make a bizarre discovery. Someone marked all the trees with wads of

chewed gum! Who is the gum bandit?

Reeling from recent family upheaval, Nic navigates the brave

new world of single parenthood. Meanwhile, his ex-wife descends into addiction,

abuse, and homelessness. Amid the turmoil, he becomes increasingly and

desperately obsessed with exposing the gum vandal. Can Nic rise to the occasion

and come to terms with his new reality? Or will he let the past drag him back

into despair and denial, threatening the thing he holds most dear: his

relationship with Henry, his son?
