Publisher's Synopsis
A summer on the California coast calls to Mattox Williams, a writer wanting quiet days to do the finishing work on his novel. He leases his Santa Fe house for three months and finds an ocean-facing room at Glitter Bay. While meeting the other people of the beach community, a love affair develops as well as the surrounding strife. He makes a deep emotional mark on the neighbors, particularly on Hayden Danning and his sister, Sylvan. A surprise offer from a film producer opens his horizons and requires trips south to Hollywood and Laguna Beach. At the end of summer, Mattox tries to find a way to keep alive the love he has found. Other books by Douglas Atwill, all from Sunstone Press, are "Why I Won't Be Going to Lunch Anymore," "The Galisteo Escarpment," "Imperial Yellow," and "Creep Around the Corner." Atwill lives in Santa Fe, painting New Mexico landscapes and gardens.
