Sex & Violence
By: Carrie Mesrobian
2014 William C. Morris Finalist
Summary: It is always tough to be the new kid and Evan Carter is ALWAYS the new kid. His mother is long since dead and his fathers job moves them from place to place so Evan bounces from school to school. The one thing Evan can always count on is always having enough girls to hook up with without the worry of them or him getting too attached. Until Evan makes the wrong choice and finds himself waking up in the hospital damaged, broken, and bleeding with a pain running through his soul as he thinks of the girl and her condition. From here Evans non existent father takes him to his hometown, Pearl Lake. It is here that with the help of the lake, his father, the hodge-podge of quirky friends, and himself that Evan begins to find peace and untangle the web of sex and violence.
