Growth & Change Are Highly Overrated
by Tom Starita
Genre: Humor, Satire
Growth
& Change Are Highly Overrated is a twist on the classic
coming-of-age story that takes a unique and comic look at what we all
fear— having to grow up and abandon our dreams.
For
a charismatic man like Lucas James, life is a breeze because everyone
else provides the wind. This adolescent front man for a mediocre
cover band has been mooching off of his fiancée, Jackie, for years
until she finally decides she's had enough. Faced with reality and
having no income to support his carefree lifestyle, Lucas James
abandons his principles and gets a job working in the stockroom at
"That Store." How does he cope with this new found sense of
responsibility?
He
casually steals...
After
a life spent bucking authority, how will Lucas James deal with his
manager, 'Victor the Dictator'? How long can he tolerate Ralph, a
starry-eyed coworker who desires nothing more than to be best
friends? Will Lori, a twenty-something cashier, be like everyone else
and fall for his charms? Will he ever find a place to live? And is
"growing up" just another way of saying "selling out"?
Tom
Starita is the author of two novels, "Two Ways to Sunday"
and "Growth and Change Are Highly Overrated" and makes an
impact on everyone he encounters. When asked for her thoughts about
him, Oprah Winfrey said, "Who?" Tom Hanks refused to
respond to an email asking for a quote and former Mets great Mookie
Wilson once waved to him from a passing taxi.
Originally
from Staten Island, NY Starita has now found a home in the beautiful
beach community of Stratford, Connecticut with his wife Shannon and
their dog Lola. He remains a loyal fan of the New York Mets.
