Rope Swing

The path used to be so clear. Leave school. Start your career. Get married. Buy a house. Have a family. These were the milestones that defined what it meant to be a grown-up. No longer. Now, those responsibilities can be bypassed indefinitely. A new generation has arrived, free from the old rules and expectations. It’s a liberating time to be an “adult.” Can someone please tell Cal that?

Rope Swing is Mitch Crosskill’s second novel. He lives in Somerville, Massachusetts, with his wife Kathleen. He has swung on rope swings in the past, and expects to do so again in the future.
