[SEQUEL TO COASTING]
When Jamie Prescott returns to the small beach town to live with her Aunt Monica the summer after her freshmen year at college, she's not quite sure what to expect.

With her family finally doing well back in California, going back to the North Carolina coast, her home away from home and a place that helped her find herself when everything around her was falling apart, seemed the obvious choice for how to spend her vacation.

But now that a year has passed, things have changed, and there is a chance that with everything around her finally going right, the beach town that had once been her saving grace may now be the one thing that's going wrong.All Rights Reserved
