The Enumerations

By Maire Fisher

Big-hearted, kaleidoscopic, and honest, The Enumerations explores the far-reaching legacies of mental illness and trauma, and the children left to pick up the pieces of their parents' emotional lives.

Noah Groome counts to five. At seventeen, he can do more than that, but counting everything in fives-from the steps he takes to the minutes in the day--keeps his raging anxiety at bay. The voice in his head, which he calls The Dark, controls everything he does. And it's getting worse.

His increasingly severe OCD impacts every member of Noah's family: his mother Kate, desperate for comfort as her home life falls apart; his father Dominic, who retreats emotionally as old demons rise to the surface; his protective little sister Maddie, forced to be the happy child; and most of all Noah, a troubled teenager trying to protect his loved ones from himself.

Following a violent incident at school, Noah is sent to rehab in Cape Town, where he meets Juliet, a rebellious girl with a sex addiction who isn't afraid of the voice in Noah's head. As bonds are made and long-held secrets are revealed, Noah is not the only one who will find healing.
