Calm Undone

Seventeen-year-old Tyler wants three things from his summer at the family beach-house: run along the beach to get ready for cross-country again in the fall; wander the boardwalk with his cousin Adam; and most importantly, figure out how to move on with his life after his Dad's death from a car crash—one that Tyler survives.

But nothing about this summer is right, and Tyler is faced with the realization that up to now, Dad had been the closest thing he had to a best friend. In order to move on, he has to accept the type of love those left in his life have to offer.
