Overview

Set in the late 1960s and 1970s, Something to Cry About is based on the author's early life. Allen Meacham is a 16-year-old victim of his father's abuses. He finds himself standing over the man who has beaten, tortured and mistreated each member of his family. Allen points the gun and fires two shots that kill his father. All of maybe 70 pounds, Allen calmly puts down the gun, picks up the phone and calls the police. Arrested and placed in juvenile hall awaiting trial, his only hope is a young woman attorney who is putting together a history of family abuse to show Allen was acting in self defense. Allen tells her about the beatings, broken bones, verbal abuse and death threats that his family experienced at the hands of his father. Will justice prevail or has tragedy taken a wrong turn? This is a true story about a family that suffered at the hands of a cruel father and how they rose above tragedy, going on to live happy and fulfilling lives.
