Across the Middle

By Daniel Ali

Sometimes the most extraordinary things about life are the most ordinary things. Across The Middle is the story of Nicholas Alexander, a practicing psychiatrist and adjunct professor at Montclair State University. After twenty years of what he thought was a loving and fulfilling marriage, his wife, Vanessa, unexpectedly leaves him for another man. Nicholas is devastated, his life, filled with secrets and hidden emotions, is turned completely upside down. Now, at forty-eight, he finds himself staring middle age in the face alone. That is until he meets twenty-four-year-old Delilah Hernandez, a first-year grad student at the college. The two quickly fall in love and things spiral out of control, leaving him questioning everything he thought he knew about life, love, and more importantly, himself. Blinded by his unbridled passion for Delilah, Nicholas becomes unsure when he discovers she's got a few secrets of her own. Things take another unexpected twist when Vanessa comes back looking to reclaim the life she walked out on. For the first time, Nicholas is forced to confront the only thing he's ever really been afraid of, himself, and in the process, he learns a valuable lesson. Sometimes the only way to see the angles clearly is when you're looking Across The Middle.
