Summary

The story of the man who went to jail because of a cat. 

They say adversity introduces a man to himself. Well, Tony Hill - a Black, bipolar father with two kids trapped in an unhappy interracial marriage - is about to get a rude introduction, and neither he, or anyone else, will ever be the same. 

Social Hill is both novel and memoir, the true story of a good man with great potential and a mood disorder living far under his potential, who's failed at just about everything: college, the Navy, more colleges, relationships, several jobs. 

Suddenly, at the age of 30, after just being kicked out of the military, he meets a naïve Caucasian woman 10 years his junior, and although they are not compatible in any way, he feels compelled to marry her after she unexpectedly becomes pregnant with his child. 

When his sense of duty leaves him feeling trapped, an affair with a coworker plants the seeds of his own, and his family's, future destruction - but also his resurrection. 

Enjoy Jason Hill's funny, often poignant storytelling about a man suffering mental illness who finds he is much more than his disease.

Critic reviews

"An intriguingly realistic social tale ... lightened by the narrator's sense of humor." (Kirkus Reviews)
