Manchild George Seeholzer

"Manchild" is the heartbreaking story of a young boy named Jon born and raised in Brooklyn and Queens, New York. The child, along with his mother, endures endless persecution, both physical and psychological. The boy beaten and abused before the age of seven sets the journey for early manhood with a strong and unbroken will to survive. The protagonists do not limit their insanity to the child alone. It is inflicted upon any or all others that get in the way. One criminal act surpasses another as the brutality continues to escalate. Inner neighborhoods provide the background for bookmaking, numbers and loan sharking. Animal instincts versus violent intelligence make for formidable opponents. The child fades to the background at times as the madness continues, but just as the adults are, Jon is always there as well. Take the journey but be prepared to encounter a scenario that will propel you to levels far beyond human comprehension. Perhaps you may smile every now and then, but it will not last very long. Anger will drive you through this story like a runaway train.
