Left In Philadelphia
About
Follow Eli Greene, a self-proclaimed expert on everything involving life, through a journey of life’s many experiences. There are lessons to be learned and feelings to be familiarized with and mastered, and Eli walks us through the simplicity of it all. Eli and Diana, siblings by blood, take a bold and last-minute trip to their family cabin in an attempt to escape from their lives, but fate may find that they discover themselves instead. Read along as Eli introspectively reflects on a family, love, and soul journey.
The reader may find themselves angry and emotionally unstable at times, but embracing those feelings and accepting them as their own is what this novel asks us all to do- to find ourselves within Eli Greene and accept life as it truly is.
In an attempt to show the history in conjunction with the inner workings of an absurdist's mind that causes their view to take hold, Spencer Virden transports you back and forth between Eli's childhood formative years and adult life. Take a front-row seat to witness the reason behind why Eli is the way Eli is.
