Under a Withering Sun

On the heels of incredible tragedy young college student Regina Leeman arrives one summer with a journal in hand to record her life as she volunteers to teach a creative writing class at an urban recreational center. Overcome by grief at her recent losses, angry at a God whom she feels certain has abandoned her and outrunning another nervous breakdown, Regina sets out to bring purpose to an existence that grows increasingly intolerable. Her attempts to glean meaning while remaining emotionally aloof from everyone around her are thwarted when she meets Damion, an attractive basketball star. He falls hard for the mysterious Regina and pursues her relentlessly. "Under A Withering Sun" is an inspirational love story poignantly narrated by Regina as she struggles to function amid the chaos of her overwhelming despair. Little does she realize how Damion, the kids in her creative writing class and a kindhearted man with Alzheimer's will give her the strength to face her family, her failures and her faith as she finds the will to live again.
