Leaving the Beach

Summary

“This is an outstanding novel... Erin is a perfectly flawed heroine.” Semifinalist, 2017 BookLife Prize (10 out of 10 in All Five Categories Judged) Erin Reardon gets her first kiss from Jim Morrison and loses her virginity to David Bowie. When she flunks out of college, Bruce Springsteen comforts her, and Elvis Costello breaks her heart in Europe. So what happens when she finally meets a rock star in the flesh? Erin’s a lonely misfit with an eating disorder and a wild imagination. She believes she was born to save - and love - at least one tortured musician, and is willing to risk almost everything to fulfill that destiny. “...gracefully grapples with several important issues, including alcohol and drug addiction, loss, grief and sexuality... There are also many entertaining pop-culture references to offset the weighty themes... An intriguing novel that looks at the ways that people cope with the pain in their lives.” (Kirkus Reviews) Evolved Publishing presents a newly revised and edited second edition of a critically-acclaimed, award-winning literary/women’s fiction piece sure to compel you to keep those pages turning.
