Love, friendship, rock 'n' roll, and war. As senior year comes to a close, Ziggy, Mickey, Cheryl, Nancy, Don, and Phil are on the razor's edge of change in the City of Angels. With the Vietnam War and civil rights movement in the air, the future seems as full of uncertainty as it does excitement. Through journal entries, notes, letters, and interconnected poems, the year 1965 in six high school friends' lives is followed with humor, pain, drama, and truth. An interview with author Sherry Shahan, along with photos and a playlist, provide insight into the creation of this powerful and unforgettable novel.

What begins as a two-night camping and kayaking trek in the untamed Alaskan wilderness turns into a test of survival for Cody and her cousin Derek. While their mothers are in Juneau picking up supplies for Yakutat Lodge, the cousins sneak off in an old pickup. The taste of freedom is soon tainted when Cody's kayak is lost on the rising tide, washing away her life vest and precious supplies. With only each other for support, the cousins face hunger and their fears of the unknown region of Southeast Alaska. As an advancing glacier floods the remote fjord, Cody and Derek find themselves facing menacing waves, immense icebergs, and wild animals. A sense that someone is following them adds to the formidable danger.
