"The novel uses the empty storefronts and windy beaches of autumn to explore loss, confusion and love." -The New York Times Book Review. It's off-season at the Jersey shore. Rosie is fifteen and her sister Skate is sixteen. Their dad, an amiable drunk, is spending a few weeks in jail while their cousin Angie looks after them in their falling-down Victorian. Skate and her boyfriend Perry are inseparable-until Perry goes off to Rutgers. Rosie is shyer than Skate, but she's drawn to Nick, a boy in their Ala-teen group. Readers will be caught up in each girl's shifting feelings as the story plays out within the embrace of their warmhearted community.
