A coming-of-age story from an emotionally avoidant guy.

For readers of A Little Life, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and Call Me By Your Name.

Emotionally avoidant James Wolf has spent his life running -- from his past, his pain, and most importantly, from himself. Now nearing 40 and feeling the weight of a quiet, persistent loneliness, he leaves Chicago for the Florida Keys, hoping the reset might offer some peace.

But the retreat from his life back home doesn't heal the wilderness of longing that's been buried. When Lily -- a long-lost friend -- re-enters his life, James is forced to confront the patterns that have kept him functional, yet disconnected, for years. As memories of his best friend Neb resurface and old wounds begin to stir, he faces a choice: continue living behind emotional walls, or risk being seen.

American Wolf is a raw, intimate exploration of emotional avoidance, masculinity, and the deep human need for connection.

If you've ever struggled to express what you feel, or known someone who does, this story may feel uncomfortably familiar.

Through tender, raw, and at times heartbreaking moments, American Wolf explores the quiet battles we face within ourselves -- and the courage it takes to break down the walls we build to feel safe.
