The Long Summer Vacation


Book Description

The Long Summer Vacation is about a family who sets out on a vacation, but find themselves on an adventure of a lifetime. They take a boat to a little Island in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico, but shortly after casting off, a storm catches them and flips the boat over, throwing the family from the boat. The storm not only hits the town they departed from but it caused the Manzor family to land in the hospital with near-death issues. During their hospital stay, they are all severely injured and end up in a dream. They find themselves swimming to shore with no boat to be seen. They see a carnival behind the woods off shore. They meet up with strange creatures and get to a restaurant, where they each come across a rock that they can wish upon. The only one that doesn't believe in the rock is the father. Everyone in his family disappears except him. He has to figure out how to get his family back and how to get them home. Was all this a vision from the mother before going on the vacation, or did it all really happen?




The Night Before Summer Vacation


Book Description

A little girl and her family are getting ready to go on vacation . . . or at least they are trying to.

Summer Vacation and Other Stories


Book Description

Male-female relationships are at the center of this collection of thirteen stories. Roughly half the stories take place in the United States and half in Chile. A common thread runs through these keenly sensitive stories: the women take the initiative, and the men, willingly or unwillingly, follow their lead. At one end of the spectrum, Ari, 14 years old, is awakening to his sexuality, and at the other, Al, almost 70 and a former college professor, sees a potential affair with a young woman as his last opportunity to indulge his taste for sexual mischief. Along the way we also meet Dora, a free-spirited woman who, thirty years earlier, was in hot pursuit of Sergio, a married man, but who now holds a secret he is determined to uncover; Josh, home for the summer after having completed his freshman year in college, who is torn between family expectations and his attraction for Sofia, a Colombian immigrant; and a gallery of other unique characters.
