Birthday Boy - Paperback

by Christopher Slade Newbound (Author)

Matt returns from a break at work to the company lunch room where he meets new employee Melora. A spark ignites almost immediately but the blossoming friendship is still subject to life's realities of age responsibility and commitment. Meanwhile Matt's wife Arianne has plans for a celebratory evening at home that get interrupted by an unintentional spark of her own. Birthday Boy is about what happens when there's a sudden connection between two people that if pursued could interfere with a life that has been going along just fine; about the paths we choose to take and those we choose not to; the commitments we do honor the worthwhile sacrifices we must make. In short a celebration of the messy imperfect life that being a husband a wife a father a mother all entails in order to evolve into the grownups we're meant to be.
