Commander Scott, Leo’s father, sees his youngest son as his only chance to leave a successful legacy behind. A victim of both his father’s physical and emotional abuse, Leo is exhausted from his father’s constant mandate of being nothing less than the best, from hiding his family’s home life, from the stress of living under his father’s violent, controlling fist. Leo is one of those characters that tugged on my heartstrings – grabbing a hold of my sympathies to the point where I just wanted to give the poor kid a hug. Though Streamline is a book with multiple narrators, at its core, this story is Leo’s. Leo and Audrey must band together to rise above the adversity they encounter and find their true selves in the process. Part murder mystery, part tale of young love in a military family, this gripping story takes readers on a journey from Pensacola to Annapolis. Her number-one supporter–her father–is in prison for murder. But there’s an obstacle to her glorious rise to the top. As one of Florida’s top high school swimmers, Audrey dreams of college swimming stardom. Leo’s girlfriend Audrey Rose is poised for her own share of success. His mother’s crippling car accident has devastated his family and left Leo to deal with his father’s abuse, battered and alone. He’s captain of his high school swim team with a bright future in college and beyond. Seems like Leo Scott has it all: looks, brains, and athletic talent.
