An aspiring teen journalist (whose curiosity is outshone only by her bravery and dedication) and an adventurer with one last wish on his bucket list team up to uncover the mystery behind “The Boy in the Shadows”– a long-forgotten prodigy of the successful authors Mr. and Mrs. Paradise. The unusual pair becomes an even stranger triad when the teen’s explorer uncle joins the quest, hoping to bring wisdom and experience into the wild exuberance of youthful adventure.Mr. and Mrs. Paradise grew up in hard knock lives, each wounded by their past while also overcoming the odds to mold themselves into successful authors, lauded in the literary world and toasted by the elite. Finding enduring love in each other, the couple built a life around their child. “A genius” in the vein of their own lauded success, they proclaimed, shielding the boy from a childhood of pain and struggle, providing him every advantage they themselves had lacked. Years later, what had become of this child, the offspring of giants in their field, given every opportunity for success?Young and Hungry is a modern parable of the triumphs and follies of parenthood, the motivations of becoming and being, and the wisdom of living a full spectrum life, each character an archetype found among our own peers and within ourselves.
