I'm The Same

When the ground shakes and the ocean rises, survival becomes more than a matter of strength — it becomes a fight for love, identity, and hope. Kodak Chase thought he had finally escaped the shadows of his Southern past when he won a prestigious writing fellowship in Oregon. But when a cataclysmic earthquake and deadly tsunami strike, everything he’s built — and everyone he loves — is thrown into chaos. Torn apart from Quinn, the boy who gave him a glimpse of a future he never dared to imagine, Kodak faces a relentless race against time through devastation and doubt.

Set against the raw fury of nature, I'm the Same is a powerful, heart-wrenching coming-of-age story about belonging, resilience, and the love that survives when everything else is lost. If you believe in stories that break and heal in the same breath, this unforgettable novel will stay with you long after the final word is spoken.
