Finding Gary

A Novel

Gary Haywood is an unhappy 13-year-old who runs away from home to escape his drunken father. When his father finds him and delivers him back home, Gary comes up with a more drastic plan to get away from abuse. A court-appointed counselor, Marty Colson, works closely with Gary to help the boy realize his self-worth. One thing Marty doesn’t count on is the strong attachment that develops between him and his client.

This is a coming-of-age story involving a suicide attempt, prison, love, heartbreak, basketball, God, and lilacs.
