Opis

Claire Casey is used to getting used to new places. She has been doing so for the past ten years of her twelve-year-old life. Claire isn't sure why her mother decides every several years to pack up her daughter and move across the state or across the country or, this last time, across the ocean. But as places go, Claire is content enough with the small town of Avalon on the other side of the channel from the big city of Los Angeles. The island is wrapped in a mist of romance, and having a mother who manages one of the most popular hotels on Catalina allows Claire a front row seat to that romance.

But Claire Casey finds more than romance during her summer of 1940. She finds a beautiful young writer named Genevieve Fairmont, a ruthless Hollywood producer named Alec Saunders, and a charming piano player named Lanny Montgomery. As their stories unfold in unexpected ways, fate leaves Claire with the power to right a grievous wrong and ultimately heal her own very personal wound.
