Soul Catcher: a novel
Katia Spiegelman
Paperback
(Backinprint.com, June 13, 2005)
Soul Catcher is the story of a teenage love affair that flourishes in idealism and perishes in addiction. The time is the mid-1970’s, the place a progressive East Coast boarding school. Some students crash, others survive in the struggle to grow up in a society lost to a free-for-all of drugs, sex and psychological faddism; lost in a detached decade between the idealistic 60’s and the cynical 80’s; lost to a lonely search for self in a world of shattered families. “Spiegelman has created a realistic, believable boarding school, where adolescent angst and the trauma of growing up at a breakneck pace is presented as the difficult transition it is.” —Small Press Magazine
