Produktbeschreibung

In the small town of Santa Crescente, where the surf meets murder, a young boy rises above the waves of despair as he faces life without a mother and watches his father stand trial for her murder. Alberto, almost thirteen, finds a small charm on a walk with nature. His aging grandfather sends him to school while secretly using the charm to reopen his daughters case of hit and run. Tomas frequently reminisces on the past and faces his own coming of age as the search for the truth begins. The diminutive family makes hard times seem like fun in this heartwarming tale of tackling lifes most extreme challenges. Novelist Barbara Young explores modern literature through her varied use of characters. Placing the tradition up against romantic and modern standards, she blends the genres into a central character, Alberto, and examines the changing principles of writing. She sets her young boy in the midst of tragedy, challenging his insight and his wit to see if he can stand alone amid the great forces who have given him life. But the question still remains. Will he bow to the strict rules of tradition, remain fixated in a tragic romantic stupor, or will he flit away with the fast-paced words of the modern day?

Autorenporträt

Barbara Young spent many years living on the Southern Californian coast. After a time, she moved back inland, graduating from Cal State Los Angeles with a degree in English. While at CSULA, she made the dean's list and remained in the top 15 percent of her class. Her poetry has been published by Statement Magazine, and she has coedited a textbook. She has an associate of science and background in nursing with a fervent passion for psychology. At present, she tutors middle school students in all subjects, helps out with her mother, and teaches art classes while she works on her next project. Admittedly, she has never lost her love for the untamed splendor of the ocean. This is her first novel.
