We Run the Tides

By Vendela Vida

Book Overview

NATIONAL BESTSELLER

An achingly beautiful story of female friendship, betrayal, and a mysterious disappearance set in the changing landscape of San Francisco
Teenage
Eulabee and her magnetic best friend, Maria Fabiola, own the streets of Sea
Cliff, their foggy oceanside San Francisco neighborhood. They know Sea Cliff's
homes and beaches, its hidden corners and eccentric characters--as well as the
upscale all-girls' school they attend. One day, walking to school with friends,
they witness a horrible act--or do they? Eulabee and Maria Fabiola vehemently
disagree on what happened, and their rupture is followed by Maria Fabiola's
sudden disappearance--a potential kidnapping that shakes the quiet community and
threatens to expose unspoken truths.

Suspenseful
and poignant, We Run the Tides is Vendela Vida's masterful portrait of
an inimitable place on the brink of radical transformation. Pre-tech boom San
Francisco finds its mirror in the changing lives of the teenage girls at the
center of this story of innocence lost, the pain of too much freedom, and the
struggle to find one's authentic self. Told with a gimlet eye and great warmth,
We Run the Tides is both a gripping mystery and a tribute to the
wonders of youth, in all its beauty and confusion.
