Where better to have an identity crisis than somewhere you don't belong?

Haunted by trauma and headed for tragedy, Delainey Sullivan just wants to have a little fun and forget her troubles, but this seemingly simple pursuit lands an anxious, introspective Delainey into increasingly uncomfortable and confusing situations.

Following a bad breakup and news of a terminal diagnosis, she abruptly leaves everything behind to be closer to her beloved, ailing aunt and attend a new university. As she navigates the landscape of worldly, affluent strangers and comes to terms with her identity as a single, attractive woman, she slowly learns the rules of engagement. The question then becomes, does she want to play the game?

Disparate Semester is the story of the most eventful semester of Delainey's life from beginning to end. But like all beginnings, so much came before it. Along the way, we catch glimpses of the beginnings that came before as well as possible endings that never came to pass -- all leading up to a conclusion that isn't perfect, but such is life.
