Description
It's 1983 and eleven-year old Cat Rossi watches the launch ramp at her father's marina where dozens of trucks patiently wait to back their toys into the shallow water. They're out-of-towners, Paychecks, her brother likes to call them, because they bring the money, all of them attracted to the hot, dry climate of the Arizona desert and the venue for water sports that the Colorado River provides.Cat's used to the carousel of single summer friends, until she meets Will Henderson, the only son of a wealthy doctor. They bond over ice cream, boat rides, and pinky promises, and when August ends, Will vows to come back next year. Over the next decade, Cat spends the off-season waiting for Will to return for the summer, and every year their connection is tested as they wade the awkward waters of adolescence into adulthood in the 80's and 90's. Torn between family obligation and her desire to forge her own path, Cat must decide how much she's willing to risk for the greatest love of her life.
