The knife that broke the camel’s back is a brand-new novel about Anika Martin, a twenty-seven-year-old woman with the whole world before her, but also a troublesome world within her which too often stands in the way of taking her best shot and getting what she wants.
Join her the night she finally has enough, and puts a plan into action that she first attempted at sixteen.
In the weeks that follow, she struggles, and grows, and experiences both the light side and dark side of being human in herself and others.
She also discovers that some of the most foundational beliefs about who she is may have been wrong, and uncovering the truth could change everything.
This book was inspired by an artist crush who spoke and wrote so beautifully that author Shaun Roundy, MA set out to “write an entire book that sounds like that.” His experience of publishing twenty other books and teaching university writing for fifteen years helped make this his best-written book so far, packed with catchy sentence rhythms, engaging dialog, surprising descriptions of nature (including human nature), unique twists of phrase, and a multi-layered plot which you’ll enjoy unfolding from start to end.
