Growing up in foster care, Trevor Markham feels adrift...at loose ends as he struggles with memory issues while trying to adapt to life in Greensboro, North Carolina and living with two older foster brothers. Their foster parents, Beatrice and Burton Boyles are strict but eager to involve the boys in serving their church and community. When Beatrice and Burton are killed in an accident, Trevor, at sixteen, signs emancipation papers and strikes out on his own. His life's focus becomes swimming. At the age of eighteen, during a long weekend at the Outer Banks, he reconnects with his foster brothers, and they rekin-dle, in him, the memories of their years together. Trevor is still troubled by the fact that he knows nothing of his biological fa-ther. In his search to find a career, he briefly considers becoming a minister; however some of his ob-servations in his church congrega-tion change his mind. As he con-tinues his search and new friends enter his life, slowly the pieces of his past begin to unravel and he starts to find himself. ADRIFT is the preface to the ac-claimed, HOLD THE EYE. Look for the sequelsoon, AFTERMATH of Hurricane Irene.
