Summer on the Bluffs
(Audiobook CD)

Compact disc.

Welcome to Oak Bluffs, the most exclusive black beach community in the country. Black people have lived in this pretty slip of the Vineyard since the 1600s and began buying property in the 1800s, making this posh town the embodiment of 'old money.' Every summer, Esperenza 'Perry' Soto escapes the fetid heat of New York City for the gorgeous weather, cool water, and stunning views Oak Bluffs offers. Sharing a cottage on the beach, owned by her 'Ama,' with her husband and two god sisters, Perry is looking forward to the days of languor and fun. But this summer is different. Ama is moving to the south of France to reunite with her college sweetheart. She is going to give the house to one of her goddaughters and she has invited all three of them to spend the summer with her the way they did when they were kids. Each of the women want the house desperately. Each is grappling with a secret that they fear will make them lose Ama's approval and the house.
