Once Were Warriors
Jake and Beth Heke appear to have a good relationship, but when alcohol is added, as it is far too often, both can become new people. Jake’s temper is terrifying, especially in its unpredictability and savagery. Their kids are among the biggest victims of their volatile parents’ drinking. One has already moved out to join a gang and a second is heading on that path. Their daughter escapes into her journal and her druggie boyfriend who lives in a junked car.
