Riley Brennan is a freshman at Grande Falls High School; the only
high school in the small, quaint New England town. When tragedy
strikes her family, she is forced to search deep inside her core
for the strength to handle its rip tide effects. Sam Patrick, her
best friend since pre-school, does her best to help Riley tread
water. Riley's instinct is to retreat and withdraw from the world.
However, her spunky Nana Catherine has other ideas. As her freshman
year comes to an end, Riley learns she will spend the summer at
Nana Catherine's house on Cape Cod, just in time for the Gull's
Point Summer Festival. The house holds many childhood memories for
Riley and her younger sister, Jessica. The two sisters enjoy
spending their days at the beach as well as reliving family
traditions. When Riley meets a local lifeguard named Doyle, her
thoughts, actions, and expectations of the world are challenged.
Riley tries her best to prevent Doyle from getting too close, but
she soon learns that because of something special in his past, he
has a way of understanding her like no one else. With the help of
Doyle, Nana Catherine, her world-famous lemonade, and the magic of
the ocean, Riley is able to appreciate the importance of her
friends and family, and the necessity of letting some people in.
Riley's journey compels her to discover who she is, as well as the
difference between family values and the value of family.
