Description

The beach house in New Hampshire is once again the setting for a story of love, betrayal, and family dynamics. In Body Surfing, the Edwards family's summer home is the backdrop for a complex web of relationships and emotions. The arrival of two older brothers, Jeff and Ben, sets off a chain of events that challenges the household's balance and forces everyone to confront their feelings. At the heart of the story is Sydney, a 29-year-old woman who is struggling to find her place in the world. With a past marked by marriage, divorce, and widowhood, Sydney is hesitant to commit to a new role as a tutor for Julie, the Edwards' daughter. As she navigates her new position, Sydney discovers a talented young artist in Julie, and must confront her own feelings about love, loss, and the complexities of human connection. The beach house, with its rich history and intricate family dynamics, provides a unique and compelling setting for this story of love, loss, and self-discovery.
