High drama at the beach, starring four sexy, surfing siblings and their
deadbeat, famous-crooner dad."--People
Four famous siblings throw an epic party to celebrate the end of the
summer. But over the course of twenty-four hours, the family drama
that ensues will change their lives will change forever.
Malibu: August 1983. It's the day of Nina Riva's annual end-of-summer
party, and anticipation is at a fever pitch. Everyone wants to be around
the famous Rivas: Nina, the talented surfer and supermodel; brothers Jay
and Hud, one a championship surfer, the other a renowned photographer;
and their adored baby sister, Kit. Together the siblings are a source of
fascination in Malibu and the world over--especially as the offspring of
the legendary singer Mick Riva.
The only person not looking forward to the party of the year is Nina
herself, who never wanted to be the center of attention, and who has
also just been very publicly abandoned by her pro tennis player husband.
Oh, and maybe Hud--because it is long past time for him to confess
something to the brother from whom he's been inseparable since birth.
Jay, on the other hand, is counting the minutes until nightfall, when
the girl he can't stop thinking about promised she'll be there.
And Kit has a couple secrets of her own--including a guest she invited
without consulting anyone.
By midnight the party will be completely out of control. By morning, the
Riva mansion will have gone up in flames. But before that first spark in
the early hours before dawn, the alcohol will flow, the music will play,
and the loves and secrets that shaped this family's generations will all
come rising to the surface.
Malibu Rising is a story about one unforgettable night in the life of
a family: the night they each have to choose what they will keep from
the people who made them . . . and what they will leave behind.
This edition includes an interview with the author, book club
discussion questions, and more!
