Description

With graduation approaching, aspiring writer Claudine Henry expects her life to unfold according to plan—until her father announces that he is leaving her mother. Sent away with her mother to a remote island off the Georgia coast, Claude must navigate heartbreak, uncertainty, and the complicated questions of love, sex, and becoming an adult. There, she meets Miah, an enigmatic local guide who challenges her assumptions and helps her see herself—and her future—with new clarity. Frank, emotionally resonant, and ultimately uplifting, this coming-of-age story explores family upheaval, first intimacy, friendship, self-discovery, and the power of writing one’s own story.
