Seventeen Summers

Seventeen Summers

My debut novel, Seventeen Summers, is available from Amazon.

Please see synopsis and cover below.

 Seventeen Summers


Returning home for his estranged father’s funeral—at least growing up he’d thought he was his father—James Cain is forced to reflect on his upbringing, his youth, his teenage triumphs, and failures: struggling to breathe amidst the crush of a dysfunctional family and a prejudiced peer group with a herd mentality. But above all, falling for a spunky girl of mixed race, named Sara Linds, and the wild ride their intercultural relationship would unleash. Thrusting them on a passionate and confrontation filled journey of discovery and understanding, of themselves, one another, and the invading world. But if leaving town the first time was tough, going back is almost a killer.
