Love of Francis Fische

All Francis Fische has ever wanted is love and acceptance.His mother died the day he was born, leaving his father emotionally absent. Raised by a grandmother whose love comes with quiet control, Francis searches for something that always feels just out of reach.But life begins to change when he meets Mitch, a loud and reckless friend who pulls him from the lonely world he lives in. And when Mitch's cousin, Eve, enters his life, Francis experiences feelings he doesn't yet understand, feelings that awaken the hope that perhaps he has finally found somewhere he belongs.But growing up means learning how quickly happiness can slip away. In a world that often feels stacked against him, Francis finds himself caught in a life shaped by grief, loneliness, and tragedy, where every step toward love seems shadowed by the fear of losing it.A story of love, loneliness, and trying to belong.Because in a world full of sharks, Francis has always been a fish.
