Surf and Sand, The Girl in the Seaside Hotel

Literary Fiction, Mystery, Coming-of-Age

Both a coming-of-age story and a double mystery, an 11-year-old girl and her 14-year-old brother have adventures during the summer of 1959 in California's Hermosa Beach at the formerly grand Surf and Sand Club Hotel, a vision inspired by the author's memories of weekends with his family at the old Hermosa Biltmore Hotel. The novel also takes the reader back to an even earlier period; 1938 and the summer night an aspiring actress disappeared while ball-room dancing with friends in the hotel. While the story is entirely fictitious, the setting was real and a true part of California's beach culture.
