But when Jenna returns to get her late mother's house ready to sell, her past and future intersect in ways she couldn't imagine. She's already dealing with her mother's death and her own recent divorce. The last thing she needs is to face off with her high school nemesis.

Because if it isn't an act, Jenna might really be in trouble. Jackson has loved Jenna for half his life. Too bad she still sees him as the punk he was in high school.

Good thing he's prepared to scale them. No matter how long it takes. On a small beach island like Sandover, you can't ever escape your past. Can Jackson and Jenna forge a new future together?

Book Description
Far off the coast of California looms a harsh rock known as the island of San Nicholas. Dolphins flash in the blue waters around it, sea otter play in the vast kep beds, and sea elephants loll on the stony beaches. Here, in the early 1800s, according to history, an Indian girl spent eighteen years alone, and this beautifully written novel is her story. It is a romantic adventure filled with drama and heartache, for not only was mere subsistence on so desolate a spot a near miracle, but Karana had to contend with the ferocious pack of wild dogs that had killed her younger brother, constantly guard against the Aleutian sea otter hunters, and maintain a precarious food supply. More than this, it is an adventure of the spirit that will haunt the reader long after the book has been put down. Karana's quiet courage, her Indian self-reliance and acceptance of fate, transform what to many would have been a devastating ordeal into an uplifting experience. From loneliness and terror come strength and serenity in this Newbery Medal-winning classic.
