Author’s Note
We used to vacation in neighboring Solana Beach, which is as lovely and green as Encinitas. The seaside areas are well known to my family, and they hold a special meaning for me. As a result of the weeks we spent there while she was growing up, our daughter enrolled in a San Diego university because they offered credit if you took surfing as a class. It also had a reputation as a party school, of course. Not to worry…she earned her surfing credits as well as a degree, had what she describes as fantastic fun, and has turned out to be an exceptionally able, thoughtful, and serious adult. (Even if I, as her mom, say so myself.)
I hope you enjoy reading about the coast of southern California—where two gifted men rekindle teenage love and come to accept who and what they are.
