Will's Way tells about a young man growing into his own during his senior year in high school. He was forced to leave his friends and swimming career behind when his father lost his job. They moved as a family to Florida from Iowa. Will felt so far away from everything he knew and he was angry that his parents made him move once again. Will devises a plan to return to Iowa and finish high school where he had started and been so happy. He approaches his parents with his plan and to his surprise finds he has their support. He and his father had always had a somewhat distant if not strained relationship. Will was however very close with his mother and his little brother. He didn't necessarily want to leave his family but he wanted to return to the only place that ever felt like home. He works and saves money for his move and in doing so he grows into responsibilities he had not anticipated. He goes about making that plan work until he finally sees that he is very happy, successful at work and relationships and best off right where he is.
