Stripers

By Jonathan Michelizza

Stripers is a heartfelt coming-of-age story set against the salt-stained shores of Cape Cod, where three generations of an Italian-American family are bound by the ocean, their traditions, and the fish they pursue.

Told through the eyes of a young fisherman learning the rhythms of the sea, Stripers captures the grit and grace of days spent on the water with his father and beloved Nonno. From early-morning launches to hard-fought battles with bluefish and elusive striped bass, the story weaves together lessons of patience, strength, and legacy. As tides shift and memories surface, the family's bond deepens-not just in the chase, but in the silence, the stories, and the meals that follow.

Anchored in rich sensory detail, old-world wisdom, and the sacred rituals of family, Stripers is a tribute to the people who shape us, the waters that test us, and the love that keeps us coming home.
