Summary

For seventeen-year-old Eliza Marino, life on Long Beach Island means surfing at dawn, salt air and bike rides, sunsets sinking into the bay, bonfires, falling asleep to the sound of waves. It also brings rich summer tourists, overdevelopment, and complicated feelings about a particular summer boy, Milo Harris, who shows up and makes her feel a storm of emotion. Island life also means knowing that sometimes those waves - water and water and water - bring destruction. It means hurricanes. Eliza knows what a hurricane can do to her island, her home, her family. And she knows she and her friends must stand up for the island, the lives they've rebuilt here. Can they stop the onslaught of development, save the natural protections of the marshlands? Can she shake the fear that another hurrican, or some other storm, will come along and wash out her life once again?
