MY NEMESIS BOOK DESCRIPTION Volume I: The Mind’s Eye:
After a tragic storm claims the lives of Joy Anderson’s family, Joy awakes to find herself strapped to a bed, afraid of her own reflection. “My Husband and children are alive, their bodies were never recovered,” Joy yells hysterically at the crowd of spectators expressing their condolences. Joy’s delusional sightings of her children and husband become the highlight of conversation for friends, family, and business associates. The once prized literary agent and book guru has lost her senses, fighting with her reflection and talking aloud to presumably no one.
Samantha, Joy’s younger sister, is faced with a chance to live beyond her sister’s shadow. She must either choose to save Joy from her behavioral dysfunctions or her already troublesome marriage. Joy’s Mother n Law continues to plan a memorial service Joy refuses to attend, while Sam’s Husband Charles and business partner of Joy’s late husband Justin sets his sights on a fund that could clear his name of all gambling debts.
