Crossing the Blue

Blake& 39;s world consists of an aging McMansion on the island of Coral Heights. Formerly a luxurious golf-oriented& 34;resort community& 34; in sunny Florida, sea level rise and the breakdown of American society have turned the subdivision into a swampy, isolated isle where a former military general-turned-arms trader has taken control... and the horizon doesn& 39;t extend beyond the submerged Interstate& 39;s next exit. Blake spends his days clandestinely reading books, watching the boats come and go from the roof of the old Wal-Mart, helping his mentally ill mother farm their backyard garden, and dreaming of a world beyond Coral Heights. When Blake collides with a mysterious woman under pursuit, he makes a split-second decision to help reach to her sailboat and escape his island... and embarks upon the adventure of his life.
