A Spark Before the Fire

Marc Notes: Jimmy Groome never really believed that his life was worth anything. An overweight and unpopular teen, it takes a suicide attempt to bring a traumatic childhood experience into sharp focus. With some encouragement from family and from family and a counselor, Jimmy picks up a guitar and it quickly becomes obvious that he has a natural talent. After losing weight and joing a band, Jimmy goes from being a shy and insecure child to an outgoing and self-destructive young adult. In world where sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll go hand in hand Jimmy's future is uncertain. Contributor Bio:  Mima Mima lives in a sleepy village in NY. She s a librarian by day. Mima is living proof that dreamy children do grow up to success, without their heads ever leaving the clouds.
