There, as she attempts to uncover why someone would choose to die, she will face her estranged family, her brother's few friends, and the overzealous grief counsellor, Chad Lambo; she may also discover what it truly means to be alive.Sorry to Disrupt the Peace is a dark comedy about suicide - and an introduction to a singular new writer.
