Jake’s life begins to outpace his small town’s namesake, which doesn’t make it any easier to come out to his mom, or Maria, or the world.īut Jake is full of secrets, including the strange blue markings on his skin that glow when in contact with water. And certainly not when he secretly applies to Miami University. There’s nothing “safe” about Jake’s future-not when he’s attracted to Kenny Liu, swim team captain and rebel against conformity. But his best friend, Maria, wants nothing more than to make a home in the desert, and Jake’s mother encourages him to always play it safe. Luckily, he lives in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, which is in the middle of the desert, yet he yearns for the ocean and is determined to leave his hometown for a college on the coast. Jake Hyde doesn’t swim-not since his father drowned. Today we’re pleased to welcome Alex Sanchez and Julie Maroh to the WNDB blog to discuss their graphic novel You Brought Me the Ocean, out June 9, 2020!
