And here's what it says:
"Set mostly in late-eighties Los Angeles, which is depicted in all its gritty, glittering glory, 'Beachglass' tells the story of Delia, a recovering alcoholic who must face down her past as she cares for her dying best friend. This beautifully-written novel is about many things, including love, lust, and addiction, but the core of the story is about friendship, and the ways in which it both tests and strengthens us. Author Wendy Blackburn suffuses “Beachglass” with Delia’s hard-earned optimism, and even though the story makes us weep (don’t read the ending of this book in a public place!) it ultimately uplifts, making us aware of just how messy and miraculous the human condition is."
Aw, shucks!

Hi Wendy,
Thank you for writing on our blog today (Girls Who Reed). What a fun treat it was to see you were here! All of us girls are thrilled. As I was looking at your blog, I came across the amazon summary of your book and realized that was what I read and sent my friends to see if your book was our next read. Apparently, they all thought I was crazy for wanting to read a book about drugs, alcohol, AIDS, etc. because it was far from what we're use to, but the friendship description is what convinced us this was the book for us. Congratulations on your book - I'll be recommending it!
God bless,
Pam
