In Drowning In a Crowded Room, author Anthony Patton tells the story of a couple who start their life together on a shaky foundation, as Lisa’s family members all have excuses for not attending their wedding in Jamaica. Once they return home, all seems well, but Lisa’s silences get longer and her depression settles in like an unfamiliar visitor. Subtle snubs from the author’s stepson and the not-so-subtle snubs from his in-laws further crack the foundation of their marriage.

San Diego, CA, July 21, 2010 --(PR.com)-- As the book opens, the sun is still an hour away from rising and a couple sit on the sand in peace. They spend the day creating a sandcastle dream house, which is admired until the waves start to come, slowly bringing devastation, tearing down the dream house and leaving nothing but “memories of what could have been.” The scene acts as a metaphor for this compelling first-person account that explores what lurks beneath the surface of an interracial relationship.

In Drowning In a Crowded Room, published by Dog Ear Publishing, author Anthony Patton tells the story of a couple who start their life together on a shaky foundation, as Lisa’s family members all have excuses for not attending their wedding in Jamaica. Once they return home, all seems well, but Lisa’s silences get longer and her depression settles in like an unfamiliar visitor. Subtle snubs from the author’s stepson and the not-so-subtle snubs from his in-laws further crack the foundation of their marriage. Unresolved issues of parenting spiral out of control as a daughter gets in trouble and another makes bad choices.

Although red warning flags about the relationship pop up throughout the author’s account, he continues trying to make his marriage work. Family drama and outright insults continue to put a strain on their marriage. Is love enough? Or in the end will the undercurrents of this interracial marriage bring nothing but doom? The author puts his heart and soul into trying to answer these all-important questions.
