{"product_id":"avalon-9781479376803","title":"Avalon","description":"After the sudden loss of her husband, Mariah returns to the sleepy beach town of Avalon, New Jersey, to save the house her grandfather built, a rambling Victorian lovingly nicknamed The Pink Poodle. There, she rekindles a romance with Trey, a lifeguard and the first crush of her teenage years, and unravels the mystery of her last summer in Avalon twenty-five years before, when she met the two people who had changed the trajectory of her life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"...there's a dreamy feel to the talk of storms and romance, adolescence and adulthood, and ancient stories and second chances. And that mood fits well with the ideas raised: of ocean waves that soften what they touch but never erase it, of a place changed by time yet still somehow outside of time, and of connections that change but never disappear. An emotional tale built of lightweight materials that has a surprising and satisfying depth.\" Kirkus Reviews\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen forced to leave Avalon, Gina Miani lives in Buffalo, NY with her husband and three daughters.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50544545956114,"sku":"9781479376803","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_00a12ef6-4a40-4e9a-a8c0-a19ba03aafac.jpg?v=1731530538","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/avalon-9781479376803","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
