Sleeping with Gods

After a suicide attempt, 19 year old Mark finds himself living in a rooming house, hardly anything to his name except a seemingly endless supply of Pepsi. Told by his therapist to socialize, he befriends his housemate Daniel, who tries to introduce the intimacy-fearing Mark to the world of women. Then Mark meets Leah, a girl with her own troubled past. In his remarkable debut novel, Michael Fontana weaves together the lives of two lost souls.
