Learn moreMedina Mason is a defiant, awkward newcomer to the affluent beach community of Palos Verdes, California. As her parents' marriage disintegrates and her beloved brother falls prey to the temptations of drugs and the lunacy of their mother, Medina surfs to survive, finding a bitter solace in the rough comfort of the waves. This is the moving story of growing up "different," of the love between siblings, and of one girl's power to save herself.
Joy Nicholson was born in Wisconsin and then moved to Palos Verdes, California when she was in kindergarten. She and her brother Jay grew up surrounded by a difficult family life. Much of her family life is reflected throughout her debut novel, The Tribes of Palos Verdes.
