Yellow Lines

by Jon Wesick

Grady Evans’s life is finally on track after months caring for his sick mother. Soon he’ll head to college with his girlfriend but there’s a problem. His mother learns cancer will claim her life and wants to spend her remaining year traveling. As America prepares for war in Iraq, Grady’s parents spend his college fund on a family trip through Europe, Asia, and Australia. From the pot shops in Amsterdam to the casinos in Macao, Grady wears a brave face while wondering what responsibility his parents’ generation owes his own.
