SWIMMING TO CHICAGO
David-Matthew Barnes

Reeling from his mother’s suicide, 17-year-old Alex Bainbridge retreats from the world around him, often finding solace on a secluded island behind his house. As an Armenian-American living in a small Southern town, Alex struggles to fit in. His close friendship with the outspoken Jillian Dambro is his only saving grace, until he meets and falls in love with Robby LaMont – an introverted new student at school.
