Travis Kelly wants nothing more than to win the world surfing championship and show up his rival, Kane, but when he loses his arm in a shark attack, he finds himself floating in a world of desolation. Surfing was his life. How will he cope? By drowning his sorrows in alcohol, he runs the risk of following in his dead-beat brother’s footsteps--a path of addiction he despises, yet seems drawn towards.
Tyson Kelly is addicted to cocaine. After giving up his pro surfing career for a life of white powder and empty promises, he refuses to take care of his daughter and ditches the mother, preferring to live in a self-absorbed haze. Now, will he abandon his younger brother too?
Surfing is more popular than ever among today’s youth, yet surf-fiction is very hard to find. With a touch of Hawaiian culture and authentic Pidgin English dialogue, Liquid Comfort is a stirring tale of anguish, addiction, determination and love.
There are many forms of comfort. Some will drown you. Others will keep you afloat.
Hang on for a gnarly ride!
