Come September

Maison d'édition: Publishdrive

Synopsis

Ryan Jackson is a shy, scrappy teenager from a poor Appalachian town. Kip Reynolds is a talented high school polo player from a wealthy family living in the suburbs of Detroit. Sharp and stunning, Claudia Kinzler wins the admiration of both young men before her world is shattered by her father’s death in the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks.
 
What follows is a sprawling, deeply human journey through grief and rage, addiction and healing, and the struggle to attain retribution for unfathomable acts of cruelty. Over the course of seventeen years—from the stables in Bloomfield Hills to the Appalachian Mountains, from corruption on the docks of Hong Kong to the underworld of South American drug cartels—Come September is the story of three people’s journey to maturity, told through the lens of love, loss, and hardship, all tarnished by the long shadow of terror.
 
With unforgettable characters and emotionally charged storytelling, this novel explores what binds us and what breaks us, the power of strength and perseverance, and how truth and forgiveness can be the key to reconciling the pain of our past and building a new life.
