Scapegoat — Laura L. Mack

No amount of distance or time away from home will ever help Isaac Stalansky escape his nightmares of a childhood swimming accident that nearly took his life sixteen years earlier. He soon discovers facing his childhood and family demons requires more than leaving home as he realizes the truth about himself and those he calls his close family. Torn between loyalty to his parents' wishes and the drive to make his life's dreams come true, Isaac is faced with a fork in his road of life, and with making one decision that will ultimately change the course of his life and his destiny forever.
