Anomaly (29 page)
Authors: Peter Cawdron
For me, the highlight of this novel is the realization of what is truly important in life and how the characters stumble upon this after an old man shows kindness to some bloodied strangers, giving them shelter from a riot. All too often, we look outward for some kind of meaning in life, something to give us meaning, not realizing we already have meaning all around us in the loved ones in our lives.
