cherophobia: A Literary Romance

By Ismail M Taher

"We're just shadows of ourselves. The real us lie beneath the darkness that covers our souls.." John Murray, a bright young college student burdened by his tragic past, fails to find neither love nor success when he falls into a deep depression, social anxiety and crushed hopes of selling his new software program. Things take a drastic turn when he meets June waters; a high spirited indie musician who challenges John's deeply held beliefs about life and happiness. As they form an unlikely friendship, June takes his new friend on a trip to LA, where his path crosses with Isabell McKinley, a victim of past abuse, family loss, and homelessness; an empathetic soul desperately searching for salvation. Both of their lives change after meeting each other's, and when they think they're finally overcoming their traumas, their past starts haunting them back and seeking revenge. On their journey, they learn that they're all connected in some ways and that everything in life is just a small part of a puzzle, whose pieces finally come together and form the bigger picture, in which there are really no coincidences. Cherophobia: Can you suffer so much that you're afraid to ever feel happy again!?
