SWAN SONG (forthcoming)

Freshly graduated from college, Swan and their two childhood bestfriends, Clare June and Mary, embark on the Yosemite backpacking adventure they’ve been dreaming of since elementary school. Swan is an introverted lover of nature who is trying to figure out what’s next. But with real life looming just beyond the bend, Swan must face the fact that the only thing waiting for them is a summer job at the farmer’s market. When a group of boys move in across the river, Swan’s introverted nature is put to the test. Will Swan open their heart and explore new connections? Or will they fall further into the existential doom of an uncertain future? Swan Song is a story of identity, yearning and friendship. 204 pages, watercolored.
