In Rock Haven, a picturesque New England town split between privilege and struggle, high school sports are more than competition; they draw the boundaries of belonging. Jessie Brandt seems to have it all: wealth, beauty, intelligence, and the relentless drive to win at every meet. On the track, she dominates. Off it, she manages her life with the same precision, and is convinced that control is the key to success.

In Rock Haven, a picturesque New England town split between privilege and struggle, high school sports are more than competition; they draw the boundaries of belonging. Jessie Brandt seems to have it all: wealth, beauty, intelligence, and the relentless drive to win at every meet. On the track, she dominates. Off it, she manages her life with the same precision, and is convinced that control is the key to success. But when life refuses to stay within her carefully drawn lines, Jessie must confront what it really means to lose her footing. Joe Goncalves is Rock Haven's golden arm, a working-class kid whose talent and determination might finally open doors long closed to his family. Yet as pressure mounts, he learns that strength isn't always measured by what you can throw or how far you can run. At the center of their world stand Coaches Harvey Lancaster and Lucas Knox, men who understand that lessons learned in competition reach far beyond the field. Bound by friendship and a shared belief that as teachers and coaches, they can make a difference, they strive to steady their students as they navigate both the uncertainty of growing up and the consequences of their actions. From the roar of the baseball diamond to the breathless stillness before a high jump, Crossing the Lines captures the fierce beauty of ambition, the burden of expectation, and the fragile transition between youth and adulthood. Peter Stipe delivers a powerful, deeply human novel about resilience, redemption, and the enduring bonds that hold a community together when everything else begins to shift. Perfect for readers of Friday Night Lights, The Art of Fielding, and We Are the Goldens, Crossing the Lines captures the soul of small-town America and the timeless drama of growing up under the bright lights of expectation.
