About this audiobook
Inside every body, an invisible struggle is already underway.
Ragus—the force of sugar—moves through the bloodstream, feeding pleasure, pressure, dependence, and desire. Estra and Testo answer from opposite sides, carrying emotion, strength, identity, ambition, and conflict. When these forces begin pulling through families, schools, bedrooms, courtrooms, churches, workplaces, medicine, media, and politics, Nobody enters to investigate.
Across twenty interconnected stories, *Sweet Tug of War* explores how biology and society collide—and how men and women are taught to blame one another for battles that may have begun inside the body. Neither side is innocent. Neither side is the enemy. The real danger is the invisible force turning difference into war.
A bold Poetic Cinema investigation into sugar, hormones, power, love, independence, and the human body.
