Avalon

By Gina Miani

Book Overview

After the sudden loss of her husband, Mariah returns to the sleepy beach town of Avalon, New Jersey, to save the house her grandfather built, a rambling Victorian lovingly nicknamed The Pink Poodle. There, she rekindles a romance with Trey, a lifeguard and the first crush of her teenage years, and unravels the mystery of her last summer in Avalon twenty-five years before, when she met the two people who had changed the trajectory of her life.

"...there's a dreamy feel to the talk of storms and romance, adolescence and adulthood, and ancient stories and second chances. And that mood fits well with the ideas raised: of ocean waves that soften what they touch but never erase it, of a place changed by time yet still somehow outside of time, and of connections that change but never disappear. An emotional tale built of lightweight materials that has a surprising and satisfying depth." Kirkus Reviews
