Jessica Anya Blau discusses & signs The Summer of Naked Swim Parties June 18, 2008

This passionate debut novel tells the story of one girl's coming of age in 1970s Southern California, a world that is peopled by hippies, surfers, and eccentric nudist parents who throw naked swim parties in the backyard pool. 14-year-old Jamie is haunted by a morbid anticipation of tragedy and mortified by her quirky parents, who openly embrace their middle-aged nakedness while Jamie struggles with her own changing body and sexual awakening. As the summer progresses, Jamie discovers is that no matter how crazy, no matter how naked, her family may be her salvation after all.
