- "Olympia Biddeford, age 15, is walking the beach, feeling the first stirrings of her womanhood. The strong-willed daughter of an upstanding Boston couple, she soon learns of desire: as she begins a passionate affair with a married writer, John Haskell, three times her age."

Her summer is transformed by the arrival of a friend of her father's, a doctor who is as captivated by Olympia as she is by him. They come together in a hopelessly passionate affair and must deal with the price of straying in an unforgiving era."
