Gina Miani

Mariah was born in the tiny seashore town of Avalon, New Jersey, during the Ash Wednesday Storm of 1962. Years later, as a recent widow with a teenage daughter, she returns to restore her childhood home and is reunited with Trey, an old friend and former crush. But Mariah is still haunted by memories of her last summer in Avalon, the year she met Jack, and Rachel-- two people who would alter the course of her life.
