About the Book

Explicit Content Warning

A Way Back Home recounts a teenaged boy's journey through the depths of incest and violence. Based on actual events - told from the author's best recollections through long-repressed memories - the story bears witness to the intense pain and heartache of stolen adolescence.

This book is not recommended for anyone easily triggered or offended. Mr. Kowalski recounts the dark few months of his late adolescence with unapologetic candor. The traumatic story sweeps the reader into a warped reality where events quickly spiral into physical, emotional and sexual abuse.

When 57-year old Jane finds herself abandoned by her husband, she turns to her son for the companionship she so desperately craves. No one would suspect the twisted and unnatural events unfolding behind the closed curtains of her middle-class, middle-American home. No one would come to rescue her prey.

Even as young Jack tries to fend off his seductive, manipulative and emotionally-starved mother, he finds his body betraying him time and time again. Trying to make sense of the senseless, Jack's physical and emotional health unravels as violence and lust hijack his world.

At a time when a teenage boy is just beginning to define his sexuality, few events could cause more damage. This is a story that must be told and a subject that demands exposure.

"Brilliant and vile and terrifying. It's how 'The Catcher in the Rye' should have been written."


About the Author: S.L. Kowalski currently lives in sunny Detroit with a witch and her cat. He's worked far too many years as an HVAC technician and is looking forward to moving out of the red truck and on to a green tractor. Mr. Kowalski recently published his first novel, based on the end of his own innocence, a gripping tale of incest and abuse in middle-class, middle-America. While it's not what he originally intended as his first publication, he knows few things work out as originally intended. So he tries not to hold on to outcomes or forget to feed the cat. Read his first book, A Way Back Home, and send him a line at stan@slkowalski.com
