Paper Castles by B. Fox
James Brookes is sad. He aches with disappointment — in himself and the world around him. Five years previously, cancer claimed his beloved mother. He’s lost his job and must return to the family home where his father still mourns. It seems he can’t do anything right, and his father is quick to point that out to him. James had dreams, but they were just that; he was unable to make them anything more.
How families survive the loss of a loved one, especially one that was the glue that kept the family together, is a gamble at best. No one can anticipate how he or she is going to react. James and his father are doing the best they can, but when lies and reality collide, they are wounded and helpless.
Paper Castles by B. Fox is the story of one young man, torn between his fanciful dreams and the need to pay off bills. He is struggling to find his own identity while facing a harder-than-ever reality when he stumbles across a new coffee shop, a wayward girl with a talent for storytelling, and his own unresolved past.
To call it a love story is too simple; it’s more a story about friendship and acceptance. Not all dreams come true, and sometimes embracing the world we have is better than hoping for a different one. Paper Castles is a story about the search for meaning in times when everything seems meaningless.
