For writers, so much is done in isolation. It can be easy to feel detached, or to get a little lost along the way.

I can only imagine the quiet horror that people must endure when they meet me in person.

David Cristofanos debut novel captures the essence of the human spirit, and delivers a story that is simultaneously heartwarming and heartbreaking.
