The History of Now - Paperback

by Jesse S. Darnay (Author)

What does it mean to be lost in the landscapes of our private, bygone ghosts? For Camille Carlyle, 31, it means the inability to be present in a developing, romantic relationship with Jake Kellen. Camille is a contemporary Chicagoan still haunted by the consequences of her parents' tumultuous divorce and by the tragic loss of her childhood sweetheart during adolescence. THE HISTORY OF NOW is a coming-of-age story that follows the internal trials Camille faces as she attempts to mend her nightmarish relationship with her past and learn to love Jake.
