Trey Hampton is an only child growing up in the northern state of Minnesota. He has a very strong relationship with his family and he and his father have a wonderful bond between them. At the age of ten Trey loses his father in an automobile accident, and his entire life is altered. With the change in the family dynamics, he is forced to spend the summer with his grandfather in "too hot" Ft Lauderdale. Trey is positive he will hate it, but has no choice in going. When he arrives in Ft Lauderdale, he agrees to keep in touch with his mom through emails. Written as an eighth grade English assignment, Trey tells his "Summer Story" through the emails he sent that summer. We follow Trey as he leaves his safe, comfort zone of Minnesota to new and uncharted "waters." As the story progresses, Wish You Were Here takes on an entirely new meaning.
