Short description

Your parents have decided to have another child in their 40’s and you’re a teenager. It‘s no big deal. You’ll be grown and out of the house before he even learns how to add. It becomes a problem, though, when both of your parents die and there is no one but you left to raise him. Such is the lot of David Summers.

Extended description

Like most college students, David’s life is in a bit of flux. As he faces his college graduation, questions naturally surface regarding his future plans in life. Having a mother chronically ill with terminal cancer leaves him unable to answer them. Time passes following the deaths of his parents. David is raising his brother, Rick, by living off the money he received from his father’s life insurance. When he meets Rachel, however, things begin to change. She discovers his talent: songwriting. As an unsigned, undiscovered amatuer songwriter, he enters a contest. His song, “When You Didn’t Think I Was Watching” wins the contest. David thus faces a choice. Will he take the prize (a recording contract), or will he continue living his simple life contentedly raising his younger brother?

With a witty, conflicted, blunt, and often polarizing writing style similar to J. D. Salinger‘s classic The Catcher in the Rye, the first person narrative Anomaly captures the full sp...
