Sharp Obsidian lays bare the inner struggles of a father and his strong-willed teenage daughter when she begins to test life’s boundaries. Her father refuses to let destructive influences twist her morals. Dispirited, he commits his daughter to a teen recovery camp. She is indignant, but meets the challenge with grit, uncovers her true essence, and matures into a savvy young woman.

Julia–A headstrong 14-year-old challenging her parents for control as she experiments with life’s temptations. If you are 14, have ever been 14, or are the parent of a 14-year-old, you will find a connection to Julia.

Steven–Julia’s father, frightened by the choices his daughter is making, and determined to protect her. Any father of a teenage daughter will understand where Steven is coming from and recognize his fear.
