SƆRAMBLƎD:
A Novel
By Neil Sturomski
SƆRAMBLƎD exemplifies
the struggles faced by many individuals with learning disabilities. Its main
character – Matt Walsh – is a twenty-something adult whose learning disability
is the root cause of persistent angst, frustration and turmoil as he tries
desperately to achieve, to succeed both in his career – and in his personal
life.
The novel attempts
to describe Matt’s inner-most thoughts as he works to better himself and
overcome his skill deficits. His anxiety – and life’s common distractions –
often get the better of him as he strives to move up the ladder toward career
security.
In addition to
coping with his work-related issues, Matt has fallen in love with Sarah – a
beautiful and talented woman with a budding medical career. She is fully aware
of Matt’s learning issues, loves him for his perseverance and his innate
talents, and supports his desire and efforts at improvement. But, Matt’s love
for Sarah causes him additional anxiety. He needlessly worries that he can’t
meet her expectations. And he fears moving forward with her until he can
provide financially for her and the family they both want.
The
pages of SƆRAMBLƎD will
show you how Matt perseverates on his difficulties. You’ll meet individuals who
play a role in Matt’s life, realize the opportunities they present, and learn
how Matt reacts to them. You’ll see how his strength of will helps him succeed
and how his fears almost undo all of his hard work. And you’ll see how his
intense love for Sarah both energizes and nearly paralyzes him. In the end,
does Matt truly succeed? Is he able to gain control over his learning, his
career, his personal life? These questions, and more, are all answered in “SƆRAMBLƎD”.
