Island Summer
eBook
(Conoli Publishing Dec. 7, 2015)
Fourteen year old Jimmy Smith is dreading the thought of spending the summer on Caroline Island without his best friends. Luckily, his misery is alleviated when he meets a vivacious young girl. As quickly as they become friends, Jimmy finds himself in love for the first time. The idyllic summer is fractured by two crises: the Smiths may lose their house to a wealthy interloper and Jimmy’s dawning realization that his friend is suffering from an eating disorder that affects both her moods and her health. As the summer progresses, Jimmy and his family have to find a way to save their home while trying to help a very sick friend who does not want help.
