In an era when women are expected to be housewives, Carol Donelly is breaking the mold as a legendary female surfer struggling to compete in a male-dominated sport--and her daughters, Mindy and Ginger, bear the weight of her unconventional lifestyle. The Donnelly sisters grow up enduring their mother's absence--physically, when she's at the beach, and emotionally, the rare times she's at home. To escape questions about Carol's whereabouts--and chase their mom's elusive affection--they cut school to spend their days in the surf. From her first time on a board, Mindy shows a natural talent, but Ginger, two years younger, feels out of place in the water. As they grow up and their lives diverge, Mindy and Ginger's relationship ebbs and flows. Mindy finds herself swept up in celebrity, complete with beachside love affairs, parties at the Playboy Club, and USO tours to Vietnam. Meanwhile, Ginger--desperate for a community of her own--is tugged into the vibrant counterculture of drugs and cults. Through it all, their sense of duty to each other survives, as the girls are forever connected by the emotional damage they carry from their unorthodox childhood. A gripping, emotional story set at a time when mothers were expected to be Donna Reed, not Gidget, California Golden is an unforgettable novel about three women living in a society that was shifting as tempestuously as the breaking waves"-- Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult New Books Benjamin Checked out 05/16/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Benjamin Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Benjamin Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Fiction Benjamin Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Benjamin Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Fiction Benjamin Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Floating Collection Benjamin Checked In   Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Fiction Benjamin Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Benjamin Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Fiction Benjamin Checked out 05/18/2024 Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
