He's lost control of his emotions again, just like last spring when his little brother died. He must find a way to get back to the old Brad, which he thinks he can do by stuffing his emotions deep down, then setting his sights on a highly competitive swim scholarship. Big deal, he tells himself; who cares that he can't stand the sight of the new girl Tiffany. Deep inside, he admits that he is bowled-over, shocked by overwhelming emotion --not believing he initially was attracted to her hair, her smile. What? She only has with one hand. He reasons that he just totally avoid her. He will clam-up and stay laser-focused on his swim strokes. That'll bring the old self back. Swim practice and his studies. Practice, practice, practice. Ready to dive-in from the swim platform, Brad spots the new girl at HIS summer swim team practice. Crap!. She is now on my swim team AND an awesome swimmer. Will having her on the team, plus in most of his tenth grade classes destroy his high school career? Fear of the unknown bubbles to boiling in this coming-of-age novel. Set on the textured stage of summer swim meets, a new school year and autumn homecoming, two young adults are attracted to one another. Yet, they are swamped, dealing with life's hard times: death, a disability and predjudice. Talk about life's speedbumps. Yet seemingly by accident, Brad and Tiffany find common ground and start a friendship -- until a swim scholarship polarizes them. Amid the turmoil of becoming adults, Tiffany and Brad fall for one another. Then mourning a loved one's death rears its head, butting-in on everything. Anger and pain overwhelm Brad in violent crescendos, causing pain and sickness. Yet Tiffany's strength and care pull Brad through his depression and illness. Brad begins to understand himself and how to better cope with his brother's death -- just in time. Though this story is set in the microcosm of high school, the core themes clearly depict universal human emotions and thus is written for readers of any age.
