Numb

This novel has levels that I hope you have time to contemplate and explore. The deeper context explains Lynn's mistakes in her processing of tragedy. Basically, it reads like a manual of what not to do, for example: shielding ourselves from our own emotions can damage us more than necessary. Hiding in the dark is a safe place until it isn't. Of course, there are many more hidden messages, and questions too, but I'd like to leave it to your interpretation. Numb is about love and loss, new opportunities to grow, and dealing with closed doors; it's about all these things I have addressed, and more. In its most basic premise, Numb is about the true human condition and testing its elasticity. "I don't ever lose, I win or I learn but I never lose." - Deana Day Coleman
