Drown
by Jennifer Rae Gravely
Like a soldier at attention, the air stood motionless awaiting the orders of the sky. Drown, a Southern girl’s story of self.
When Andie Drown’s mother suddenly leaves them, Andie sees her athletic scholarship as the only escape from small town life. Then the local hero Stone Harrison finally notices her. Their torrid relationship, punctuated by booze, brawls, and betrayal, causes her to question what she wants for her future.
Will Andie follow in her mother’s footsteps and give up her dream, or will she make her own path and lose the soldier she loves?

Jennifer Rae Gravely did a really cool poem bio and I wanted to include it!
I am…Jennifer Rae Gravely
I love beagles and beaches
I live for volleyball and victories
I dream of fame and fortune
I strive to be a role model but would as soon go rogue
I teeter between happiness and hopelessness
I need love and loyalty
I desire respect and regality
I focus on the end result and excellence in the middle
I have fulfilled many goals yet success alludes me because
I am everything I imagined and nothing I believed.
