SYNOPSIS: All of her life, sixteen-year-old Philoten has been told about dangerous women. Those who flaunt their bodies. Those who are different. Those who do not follow the rules. And she's tried, so hard, not to be dangerous. But then, something awful happens. Incidentally, it's a few awful things, however one of them is particularly unforgivable, and it forces her to ask the question of herself: Am I Dangerous?
Am I Dangerous? springboards off ancient questing stories like Shakespeare's Pericles, creating a brand-new fem-tagonist origin story that addresses coming of age, restrictions of doctrine, reconciliations of broken families, autonomy of the femme body, and cultivation of native and natural biospheres.
