As the sun sets off the coast of the small California town of
Orilla del Cielo, you can see the silhouettes of the oil rigs.
Their shadows look jarring against the serene backdrop, their
sharpness a reminder of unfulfilled promises. To Zach, they are a
reminder of loss - his father, an oil worker who drowned years
before. With a poor family struggling to make ends meet, Zach's
future feels equally bleak. Until he meets Vanessa, an optimistic
girl whose sights are literally set on the stars. Inspired by her
idol, Carl Sagan, she plans to study astronomy at Cornell. But as
oil prospectors in search of black gold know, the future is
uncertain - and fortunes can always be flipped. Jason Gurley
delivers a gorgeous debut young adult novel about dreams and
believing in love - and yourself - to reach them.
