A Headhunter Girl'S Stressturbation Survival Guide

A Headhunter Girl's Stressturbation Survival Guide is the story of human evolution as seen through the eyes of a nineteen-year-old girl suffering from a severe anxiety disorder. Felicia Walcott sleeps twenty hours a day since her mother, a Nobel Prize winning anthropologist, committed suicide. Now Felicia must fend for herself in a technologically advanced world using her outmoded Hunter/Gatherer skills. Her life spirals out of her control until she is befriended by Orville. an eighty-five-year-old army veteran whose wife is succumbing to her own mental illness. Together Felicia and Orville face the changing world to defend each other from Peruvian head-shrinkers, tribes of tiger-striped teens, Aborigine mathematicians, neurotic Neanderthals, and apathetic attack-baristas who assault their traditional way of life. But as Felicia begins to find her place in modern life, a revelation from her past threatens to destroy the very nature of her reality unless she can truly learn to adapt. "'Headhunter Girl' is a rare gem -- a thoughtful, funny, and intelligent story filled with quirky, yet entirely believable characters. Cavan Padreag is a natural storyteller and a talented writer. I enjoyed this book tremendously." ~Pete Hautman National Book Award Winning author of "Godless" "'Headhunter Girl' is a beautiful, original, and highly clever story that has an amazing and poignant journey for its heroine. What she goes through is truly miraculous, and is absolutely believable within the context and characters of the world Cavan Padreag has created." ~Bluecat Screenplay Competition
