Description

Day After Tomorrow is a novel written on the premise that day after tomorrow never comes. The moral of the story is not to wait, for it may be too late. Such is the love of Darcy Drum, a teenage college student and her true love, Professor Amahl Abdula. Amahl Abdula is thirty five, a professor of mathematics at Ohio State University and a professed Atheist. The story opens at the Olentangy River's edge. Darcy is reading poetry to Amahl, and he is helping her with equations. Darcy has just presented Amahl with a small book of poetry, an excerpt from the Song of Solomon. The little book is destined to save his life in the jungles of Guam. In the first chapter, the wedding is planned and they are to meet at the altar day after tomorrow. The day before the wedding, Amahl finds out from his old family doctor that he had mumps as a child making him sterile. He knows that Darcy wants children, so he leaves her at the altar and goes off to Texas to join the Air Force. Paul Stein, the best man and her childhood sweetheart, talks Darcy into marrying him.
