Beschreibung

"The Student" follows Adam Harris, a young man navigating the complexities of growing up, making life choices, and discovering the true nature of relationships. Adam is initially dedicated to his studies, despite facing judgment from his peers. His life takes a new turn when he leaves Chicago to attend college out of state, staying with family in a Detroit suburb. The excitement of independence and campus life fuels his aspirations, but a relationship with a fellow student, Lisa Daly, brings unexpected challenges. When Lisa becomes pregnant and decides to keep the baby, Adam is thrust into a world of responsibility that raises questions about identity, commitment, and the future. Though he feels deeply for Lisa, the timing feels all wrong, and he hesitates at the idea of marriage. Yet, the birth of his son brings a newfound joy and sense of purpose. Adam and Lisa begin to navigate the trials of young parenthood while balancing their own personal ambitions. As Adam continues his studies, he faces the temptations and struggles typical of college life, encountering women who want more than he's able to give. Through it all, Adam and Lisa's bond deepens as they work together to raise their child. "The Student" explores the journey of self-discovery, love, and resilience, shedding light on what it truly means to grow up and be present for the people who matter most.

Autor

Philmore Butts is an American author from the Southern region of the U.S.. While being raised in the north, he had plans of becoming a successful artist. Philmore attended public schools in Michigan, where he graduated and went on to attend a private Catholic university. Unsure about what career path he wanted to follow, Phil left school and found himself working several odd jobs. After years of beating the pavement, he enrolled in a creative writing course. Although encouraged to pursue a life as a writer, he returned to the Catholic university where he went on to study Psychology/Sociology. During his tenure, the late Sis. Rachel encouraged Philmore to seek a career as a writer or poet. Phil then began to once again nourish the idea. Having allowed several production companies to look over his work, to no avail, he went on to receive degrees in both majors. While working as social worker, teacher, and supervisor for an all-girls detention, the writing bug began to bite again. Phil then began to pursue his dream of becoming an artist. So, having put down his paint brushes, Philmore picked up his pen to become a literary artist. Having penned his first novel, "The Student," he now anticipates creating other works for readers to enjoy. Using his only child as inspiration, Philmore looks forward to accomplishing other literary and artistic goals.
