Envy The Rain (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780976787617)

From the unforgiving streets of New York, to the lush Irish countryside, through rainy Amsterdam and a callous Paris, Envy the Rain is a picturesque and melancholy novel about the misadventures of 38 year-old Drew, a talented but misguided artist, as he tries to pick up the pieces after the disastrous end to his first and only real relationship.

When Drew learns that Andie, his girlfriend of eighteen years, has been cheating on him, his life implodes. Surely there were warning signs, as Andie, a fashion designer turned-stripper, descends into a world of drinking and debauchery, but its the discovery of her three-year affair with a NYFD firefighter thats the final smashup.

Simultaneously jaded and na ve, narrating his odyssey of self-discovery as if confiding in his best friend, Drew begins his foray into dating at an age when many people feel they should be done looking.

Reformed strippers, American expatriates, Parisian socialites, Internet dates and New York fashionistas, we want every woman Drew meets to be the "one" - but in the end, its Drew alone who must become the hero of his own story.
