Casper Gray goes to bed a happily married man. He wakes up questioning whether everything is a lie. Life in suburbia holds few surprises for Casper. He and his wife Jane are still trying for a baby after seven years. His neighbours have their quirks to be navigated. And his job as a high school teacher, while satisfying, comes with its challenges. Every day is much like the one before that is, until Casper makes a discovery that threatens everything he knows... As Caspers fears grows into obsessions, his world starts to unravel. Just Another Week in Suburbia is a story about love, trust, and insecurity, and the question of whether you can ever really know another person.
His writing amply displays the rare combination of natural talent and extraordinary hard work characteristic of those who succeed in the industry -- Andrew Morgan, author of Good on Paper
