The Vegetarian Tigers of Paradise

Crystal's mother is a woman to be wary of. A diet of Hammer horror and deep fried snacks has hardened his heart and her arteries. One misstep and Crystal is ordered to pack her bags: she's off to live with Freddy Krueger on the other side of the park. Near death avoided, back home with her mother, sister and shapeless but loveable dad, the teenage Crystal dotes on her pet bull terriers, struggles to keep her end up at her troubled inner city comp and begins to discover what love is all about. All while trying to understand what that period of belonging to the Kingdom of Jehovah's Witnesses was in aid of - apart from saving money on Christmas presents.
