Synopsis

It’s the ‘60s and twenty-year-old Ali Abrams is ahead of her time. Way ahead. Not willing to be a secretary or housewife, she’s a hopeless romantic and her own worst enemy. Ali’s transformation from college girl to career woman is a racy ride through that explosive era of sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll. From the sun-soaked beaches of Fire Island to cutthroat Madison Avenue, Water Baby is a sparkling New York coming of age story steeped in glamour and sixties counterculture. It’s a hilarious, brutally honest tale of breaking hearts and breaking rules, about looking for love in all the wrong places and finding oneself along the way.

About this title

Reviews

"The book delivers plenty of vibrant historical details about Fire Island, Manhattan, New York City socialites, and the ad industry of the ’60s... But Israelson's tale is as much about one woman’s personal journey as it is about the pressure to be desirable, to find love, and to conform to society’s expectations... The accessible prose should keep readers turning pages in the anticipation that Ali will finally find fulfillment. A light, accessible coming-of-age story well-suited for beach and romance fans." - KIRKUS REVIEWS
