    About this ebook

    When Dan encounters The Anger, he supplements his day job as a high school math teacher with writing a novel. The Anger, a product of feeling enslaved to his job, recedes as the inspiration for his story emerges, but little does he know.

    He’s not in control. Neither are his characters.

    This rich and complex novel, populated with intriguing characters of differing nationalities and beliefs and orientations, takes the reader deep into the world of “What if?”

    What if you were transported to a time and space to learn the story of a person outside his or her stereotypes?

    If you had to relive a series of moments, would you continue in habitual patterns, or would you deviate from them?

    Who’s is in control? Are you?
