A coming-of-age novel about family, identity, and the birth of hardcore punk.
When his parents’ marriage falls apart, Brent Calloway loses the one thing he’s always wanted: a stable, loving family. Abandoned to loneliness and uncertainty, he finds an unexpected lifeline in the raw, uncompromising world of hardcore punk.
As Brent is drawn into Florida’s emerging underground music scene, he discovers friendship, purpose, and a voice he never knew he possessed. But beneath the noise, the late-night shows, and the rise of a movement, his journey has always been about something far more personal: finding the sense of home and belonging that has eluded him since childhood.
Hardcore Rules is a powerful coming-of-age novel about resilience, chosen family, and how music can lead us toward the life we’ve been searching for all along. Free on Kindle.
