The Islanders

THE ISLANDERS OCCASIONALLY A STORY RESURFACES AND RESONATES WITH A GENERATION. Bridging over thirty years, and playing out across a forever glittering San Diego backdrop, The Islanders is the captivating story of growth, passion, and friendship as a generation of teenagers share the same dangerous rite of passage. It is a reminder of an era that ultimately came to an end, and to the lucky ones who experienced it all, unscathed. Sofia Madison revisits the summer of 1987, growing up on the magical island of Coronado where the Southern California sun was hot, and the boys were even hotter. It was the year she tested the boundaries of her strict upbringing and started to figure out who she really was— and more importantly, what she wanted. With the help of her daring best friend Hannah, she was able to taste freedom and follow her heart, risking everything in the spirit of youth and adventure as they followed the generations before them in secretly slipping across the border into the infamous Tijuana party scene underage- and finds herself unwittingly caught in a love triangle between twin brothers. Amongst the gorgeous surfers, academics, and musicians on the island, were a pair of emancipated twins, Trey, and Jaimie Knox. Maddie was immediately drawn to Trey and soon found herself in the arms of the irresistible identical twin. Although the chemistry with Trey was mysteriously inconsistent, she never forgot the night they shared a kiss so incredible, she thought it must have been fate that pulled the elements together to accomplish the moment that lingered in her mind for fifteen years. When the notorious flame resurfaces at a high school reunion, this coming-of-age story evolves into one filled with steamy encounters and dreams fulfilled as they revisit the memories that bond them through space and time. However, as Maddie followed her intuition down an unexpected road of empowerment and bittersweet revelations, there was something missing. Her best friend. —- ISBN: 9798218975876
