Proximity Theory

By Thomas A. Black
Regular price $15.00

John and Joan seem to have a comfortable relationship. Perhaps too comfortable John is feeling somewhat dissatisfied. Then he meets the enigmatic Jane, triggering a wave of introspection, challenging him to question his relationship with Joan. Joan is searching for her own illusive stability, admitting to John that she needs someone to make her whole. As Johns detachment grows, Joan forces a confrontation. John sees his relationship with Joan as hollow; she feels an encroaching sense of despair, exacerbated by her own personal demons. Is a resolution possible? In an intriguing character study, author Thomas A. Black explores the ways in which the actions of one individual may affect the lives of others.
