Streamline

By A. Austrie

In this heartfelt and uplifting novel, a grieving former professional swimmer reunites with a childhood friend, committed to ensuring her success in the sport and restoring hope despite the past that haunts them.

Benjamin "Ben" Hoffman crosses paths with Yara Langner, his childhood friend, years after they'd lost touch and not long after the abrupt end of his professional swimming career. Yara, also an elite swimmer, signs on with the same team Ben had once trained with in hopes of pursuing the Olympics someday but also in hopes that they'd get to train together. Unbeknownst to her, Ben has recently accepted a coaching position for the team to avoid losing his beloved childhood home. Despite the initial guilt weighing on Ben for having lost touch with her, their reunion helps him heal, bringing back old memories- as well as old feelings-while he struggles with recovering from the loss of his father, and ultimately finding his lane again.

Rich with empathy, Streamline captures an emotional picture of grief and loneliness but also offers the guiding light of hope, enduring love, and the people in our lives that believe in us. Even in times of despair, there's always a silver lining.
