A SEAHORSE RODEO by Shawn Harwell This novel details the events of the weeks following the graduation of Lipton Greely from college. Lipton is a history major planning to spend his summer at his father’s house in the small furniture town of Lenoir researching a hypothesis. At the end of summer, he’ll be moving from his home state of North Carolina to Atlanta for graduate school, and Lipton can hardly wait. Unfortunately, his enthusiasm suffers an instant blow the moment he spots Evan Barnes, one time friend and current nemesis, standing on the lawn outside the graduation hall smoking a joint. This is the same Evan Barnes who played a part in Lipton’s first real heartache seven years earlier, and the wounds still sting. Evan is friendly and casual, but Lipton can’t help suspect his old friend has an ulterior motive for the sudden appearance.
