Book Spotlight:
Under the Boardwalk by Eliza Callahan
About the book:
August, 1962: Just before dawn, best friends Philly and Noogie flee their small farming town in a borrowed powder-blue Mustang, chasing the neon promise of Ocean Drive, South Carolina. With pinky swears and teenage certainty, they believe a single reckless weekend in beachside dance halls can change their lives.
And it will —just not in the way they expect.
When both girls fall for the strand’s most dazzling shagger, the unforgettable Dolvett Darling, what happens under the Boardwalk sparks a betrayal that will shatter a friendship and force a choice neither Philly nor Noogie can escape.
October, 2000: Philly Darling’s daughters, Susie and Cyn, are barely holding together the polished lives they present to the world. Susie’s widely envied marriage is empty. Cyn’s promising real-estate career is quietly collapsing. Reluctantly reunited for Ocean Drive’s Save Our Shag celebration—where their late father will be inducted into the Shag Hall of Fame—the sisters arrive home to find their mother missing, her car gone but her packed bags left behind. Even her best friend Noogie, whom the girls have known from childhood, has no idea where Philly has gone.
As they search for their mother, secrets from that long-ago summer rise to the surface, forcing Susie and Cyn to question everything they believed about love, loyalty, and the women who raised them.
A sweeping, emotionally rich novel about friendship and betrayal, this is a story of women across generations—and the choices that ripple through a lifetime.
