I Bleed

Xavier is a gifted boy with a fervently devout mother. His reality, shaped by his mother’s religious fanaticism, revolves around music, mathematics, poetry and communication with his dead father.
Michelle, the closest thing Xavier has to a friend, introduces him to the world his mother's suffocating "love" has denied him. But any hope of living a normal teenage life is lost when his secret pastime is discovered. The violent response, fuelled by gossip, paranoia and a culture that cowers to intimidation, has tragic consequences.
I Bleed is the attempt to piece together the untold story of a victim caught in the turbulent waters of public opinion by the one girl who finds herself helplessly watching from the shore.

About the Author

Ben Gilholme spends his days teaching high school students about the English language. He has always loved stories, which is why he spent so many years studying them at university, writing and teaching about them, even selling them in bookshops. Ben has tried his hand at a variety of storytelling mediums: the elaborate lies he told his parent and teachers, his early forays into song writing and his current novel-writing compulsion.
