dc.description.abstractDealing with themes of mental health, self-harm, grief, and addiction, The Dysfunction of Family Legacy is a contemporary, three-part, multi-generational tale that’s set in the small island neighborhood of City Island in the Bronx, NY. The Adams family has been rocked by the sudden death of Tomas Adams, the twin brother of the protagonist, Kim. A year after his death, Kim has stepped into his shadow running the family boxing gym, Rumble City, which used to be a staple in the City Island community. Floundering under grief and pressure, Kim’s anger bubbles under the surface as she finds her escape in bottles and bruised fists. When a letter about the gym’s unpaid property taxes arrives in the mail, she has to decide what her legacy really is and if it can be confined to a building.en_US
