California Golden by Melanie Benjamin

Combine vibrant 60s surf culture with sisterhood and family dynamics to weave a rich and heartbreaking tale. Definitely more character driven, it’s a poignant story of women breaking the mold and navigating life one surfboard at a time. Love the California vibes.
