About this listen

Medina Mason is a defiant, awkward newcomer to the affluent beach community of Palos Verdes, California. As her parents' marriage disintegrates and her beloved brother falls prey to the temptations of drugs and the lunacy of their mother, Medina surfs to survive, finding a bitter solace in the rough comfort of the waves. This is the moving story of growing up "different", of the love between siblings, and of one girl's power to save herself.

I enjoyed reading The Tribes of Palos Verdes. I hate how Sandy is toxic I wished for a better ending but it is still a great book to read. Although I felt my stomach crumbles from sadness as I got to the end

Great and realistic story

I forced myself to listen to the entire book. I just kept thinking "do these people have any clue?" Seeing someone self-destruct in front of your eyes you don't do anything? Ugh
