About this listen
Jeremiah sits on his bicycle and stares down at the small, flattened body of a dead frog. At just six-years-old he suffers a painful realization: In this existence you are either The Squasher, or The Squashed.
Raised as a Jehovah’s Witness, Jeremiah also knows he must be obedient and devout—or risk banishment. But the boy refuses to be another frog under God’s wheel. At first his acts of rebellion are small and inconsequential, but soon his schemes take on a wilder, grander scale and he finds himself being hunted by the police.
Through mad goose chases, natural disaster, homelessness, and maximum-security prison, Jeremiah struggles against the world, always wriggling one step ahead of the giant wheel bearing down on him. But when a shocking accident leaves him half dead and disfigured, the young man has nowhere left to run. Either he breaks free of the hate, hurt, and rage that’s fueled his every action, or becomes another one of life’s hapless victims.
Dead Frogs is a riveting true story about growing up in broken systems, the incredible resilience of the human spirit, and the power of forgiveness and redemption.

Worth the Read for the Hopeful
"Dead Frogs" is a powerful coming-of-age memoir that chronicles Jeremiah's tumultuous journey from a sheltered Jehovah's Witness upbringing to a life on the run. The central image of the dead frog, crushed by an indifferent world, sets the tone for Jeremiah's early realization of the harsh realities of existence.
The book delves into the internal conflict Jeremiah faces. He's raised within a rigid religious structure that demands obedience, yet his inquisitive and rebellious nature pushes him to challenge authority. This struggle fuels his acts of defiance, which escalate from minor infractions to full-blown clashes with societal norms and the law.
Jeremiah's path leads him through a harrowing sequence of events - homelessness, prison, and a life-altering accident. These experiences force him to confront his anger and disillusionment, pushing him to a crossroads. Will he succumb to the bitterness and resentment that have driven him, or will he find a path towards healing and forgiveness?
"Dead Frogs" is more than just a personal story; it's a commentary on societal structures that can leave individuals feeling ostracized and powerless. Jeremiah's journey highlights the resilience of the human spirit, even in the face of immense hardship. The book's core message lies in the transformative power of forgiveness, offering a glimmer of hope for those struggling within broken systems.

Emotional and Moving - a Defining Moment
A defining moment in a boy’s life is marked by a dead, squashed frog which significantly influences his life decisions. This coming-of-age story follows Jeremiah throughout his rebellious and inquisitive phases. Sheltered and raised as a Jehovah's Witness, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery in an indifferent world.
The author, Jeremiah Simmons, details his internal conflicts and emotional state of mind as he deals with and moves through life. His ordeal as homeless, his route to and in prison, and other pivotal life decisions and incidents are highlighted. We witness his journey through his experiences of failure, learning, and ultimately achieving moments of success and hope marked by defiance and emotional struggles are both deeply moving and emotional.
As the narrator, Jeremiah Simmons communicates those moments of loss, failure, contemplation, and realization effectively. His voice was clear and steady. While I normally would recommend a professional narrator, Simmons brought to the narrative a personal connection.
An emotional and moving narrative detailed through the use of allegories proves hope is achievable. This audiobook was well written and presented.
There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook.
