Two brothers living under the burden of expectation on a collision course with the shadows of a tragic past... It's the summer after graduation. His brother is home from the Corps, fresh out of Afghanistan, and only three short months remain until Chase can sign his own Marine enlistment contract. It was supposed to be great. It's turning into a slow hell. His girlfriend dumps him. He's shoveling horse manure to make a buck after giving up his job for Danny, and his parents won't drop their college campaign. The worst is Danny's descent into self-destruction-fighting, drinking, and run-ins with the law. All Chase's attempts to connect with his brother lead only to more frustration. As Chase struggles to understand Danny, he finds an unlikely ally in Olga Gutierrez, the girl he's been trying to ignore for the past five years. However, when a final betrayal threatens to destroy the brothers' relationship forever and exposes the truth-a long-kept secret about Olga's own brother's death in Iraq-Chase will come to question everything he once thought he knew about Danny and himself.… (mer)

Chasing Danny by K. R. Schulteis is a very interesting look into the dynamics of a younger brother looking up to his older brother and wanting to be just like him. Danny decided after 9/11 that he was going to be a Marine when he graduated from High School. Chase decides that is what he will do to even though he is not like Danny. At the time that Danny is returning from Afghanistan, Chase only has a three month wait to join. The boys parents look at Danny as a hero, and the town, but fight with Chase about joining the Marines. The won’t sign so he can go early, they tell him he has to wait until he is eighteen. His mother pushes all the college information at Chase trying to get him to go to college. They talk Danny into trying to talk Chase out of enlisting. But all Chase has ever wanted to be was like his older brother.

I guess I didn’t realize how much males want to be like their older brother. I’ve read many, many stories about females and have never seen this close a pattern of wanting to be like an older sister. I enjoyed the book very much and would read more from Ms. Schulteis.

I received this book for free from Goodreads.. (

My feet hit the ground in a rhythmic thud, like a heartbeat, and a false breeze caresses my skin as my body cuts through the still morning air.
