A week's vacation on Southern California's Balboa Island begins a chain of events that changes lives forever for 20-year-olds Kevin Leary, Bill Parker and John Fullmer. They meet the lovely Sheila Baker shortly after arriving on the island. The story begins in the 1970s. Through the next decade, the paths of the four friends diverge and then reconnect in ways they cannot have imagined as Kevin, Bill and John arrived at Balboa to begin their vacation in an apartment atop a garage. Their relationships are tested, families are fractured and loves are lost. This is a story of multi-generational friendships and the healing power of the bonds of loyalty. It is also the story of the optimism of youth and how fragile that optimism can be. Balboa Island is a tale of men and women finding their way, making things happen to fit their dreams and then chasing after their dreams when they become elusive. Author Lee Elder explores life during that era and how the social mores of the time impacted the four twentysomethings. Kevin, Bill, John and Sheila will never forget the week they met on Balboa Island.
