Shelter in the Storm

About the Book

A "coming-into-your-own" story. Every wanna-be writer's angst can be seen in the life and times of David Andrews. Equating writer's block to a sort of "literary impotence", and listening to his brother Jack's constant reminder that "writing should be kept only as a hobby, now get a real job", David at times launches into a sarcastic diatribe against the so-called "norms" of society. Fighting to hold onto his dream of being a writer, he soon finds himself lost in the artless society he has always criticized and ultimately having to decide which path to choose.

This book details the struggle between doing something you've always dreamed about or settling for what others say is the best thing for you.
