It's the 80's in the beach town of Emerald Isle, on the Crystal Coast of North Carolina... Tallon Jackson lives in a tight-knit artists' community. His days are filled with trips to the beach and parties that bring together a rich cast of local characters. But Tallon is caught in the middle of a dispute between his parents, who don't trust organized religion, and his Christian grandparents, who demand that he be baptized. Swept about like sand on a windy dune, Tallon struggles with right and wrong, the allure of bad influence, and even his belief in God. He finds some solace in He-Man and his best friend Shepherd-but when tragedy hits their tight-knit community, young Tallon will need something to believe in. - From the author of Swansboro People, The High Water Mark, and The Rocky Shore of Reality comes a new story of nostalgia, of friendship, of faith, and coming of age in the 80s. Note to fans: This is the third book in the Tallon Jackson series. But if you are new to the series, please start here.
