"Adams Fall" is writer Sean Desmond's first novel and is based around the events which occur to a college student in his senior year at Harvard University. In the midst of completing his thesis and applying for a study abroad program, the narrator copes with his stresses by resorting to alcohol and drugs.

Adams House, a real House [ [http://hcs.harvard.edu/adams/history/index.php Adams House - History] Accessed 12/06/2006.] at Harvard, features prominently in the novel; the author is himself a Harvard graduate.

The novel was the (loose) basis for the 2002 film "Abandon" starring Katie Holmes.
