In this unusual coming-of-age novel, author Jay
Quinn surveys the expanding emotional and sexual
boundaries of Matt, an eighteen-year-old surfer
in coastal North Carolina. Set against the broad
skies and beaches of North Carolina's Outer Banks,
Matt's story of claiming his place as a surfer
and as a gay man in the small and large worlds
of construction sites, fishing piers, and surf
breaks, is a triumph of storytelling.
