The world, according to Tom, was a fantastic place.
He ruled over Mom and Dad with an iron fist, and everyone agreed he was God's gift to the planet. But everything changed when Emily came along, and Mom and Dad's attention, as well as all the snacks, suddenly had to be shared.
Two possible paths lie ahead. Tom may perfect the art of sabotaging Emily's praise to maintain his superior glow, or he might open his clenched fist and embrace the ultimate horrors of love, empathy, and selflessness.
“But Why?” is the second book in the TOM series. A hilarious and surprisingly heartfelt look at the epic power struggle between humans and emotions. This novel coming-of-age dramedy takes you through the joys and sorrows of life in the most raw and realistic fashion.
