Aristotle is always in his own head.  He’s a thinker. He’s a loner.  He finds it hard to connect to his war veteran father and his sisters.  His brother is in prison. His mom is the only one who seems to get him but she won’t talk about his brother.  Ari is not happy. Ari is angry. Then one summer he heads to the pool in his El Paso community and there he meets Dante.  Dante is different, but he is friendly and kind. Dante becomes the first and only friend Ari has ever had. Will Dante be able to reach through all the barriers Ari has put up to protect himself from being hurt by family and friends? Will he be able to help Ari let go of all the anger and pressure Ari carries around in his heart?
