Debt Ryan Derome

Ann Harris, an ace debit collector, thought she had it all figured out - money in the bank, a promising career, and an unwavering view of what it meant to be a success. Ann's values are challenged when suddenly she is outperformed by the demons inside her and coerces Thomas Moore, a man at the end of his rope, to become a victim of her anger and conviction against people like her father who she perceived at the irresponsible deadbeats of the world. When her law firm forces her into a paid leave of absence, Ann is faced with life threatening depression which begs her to find her soul again, and slowly, the coldness inside melts when she begins to learn the truth about David, her dying father, and the effects of her damaging ideals upon those who loved her most - such as her younger sister Kate and her devoted ex-boyfriend Paul. 'Debt' is a journey into the heart to explore pride, self-reliance, and our own values which give us the illusion of what it means to survive in a world where one man's misfortune often becomes another man's profit.
