ABOUT THE BOOK
“Ippolito’s deft descriptions of San Diego will make you reach for sunscreen as you whiff the salted tang in the air. Dark secrets, family dynamics, ruthless villains, WAVES OF BURDEN has them all and then some.” ― Matt Coyle
Drew Jones is trying to scrape a life together. A long-time resident of San Diego County’s foster care system, distrust, shock, and danger are all he’s ever known. Now married, with a contracting business he’s trying to get off the ground and a kid on the way, all he wants is enough for a down payment on a house and to know his family has the kind of security he could never have dreamed of.
But when his foster brother, Jake, a nomad van-lifer who never met a problem he couldn’t run from, returns to town, waves of shock, distrust and danger return with him.
Don’t miss Waves of Burden.
