Rock the Boat

DEBUT NOVEL Three distressed thirtysomethings who grew up in the quaint, popular resort town of Sea Point, NJ, spend a pivotal summer there trying to sort themselves out. Kate’s seemingly perfect Manhattan life blows up when she gets the boot instead of a ring from her longtime boyfriend, and she returns to Sea Point to lick her wounds. Miles, who welcomed a return to his boyhood home to escape his unsatisfying, albeit successful, life in California, has just been fired by his mother as CEO of the lucrative family business and is determined to get her to change her mind. Ziggy, a childhood friend to both Miles and Kate, has never left Sea Point and is mourning the recent death of his beloved father, caring for his grief-stricken mother, and trying to hold on to the family business that is in financial trouble. As the trio tries to rebuild their lives in enticing creative ways that include an alluring dose of romantic entanglements, they find their way back to one another and forward to astonishing intertwined futures.
