Written with heart and keen observation about the day-to-day struggles of a "functioning bulimic," Leaving the Beach explores the power of fantasy, then shoves it up against harsh reality until something has to give in this women's novel set on the sandy beaches of Winthrop, Massachusetts.

Meet Erin Reardon, a lonely bulimic woman who believes she's fated to save grunge music superstar Lenny Weir. Forget the fact that Lenny reportedly killed himself several years earlier; Erin's not the only fan to believe his death was a hoax, a last-ditch effort by the drug-addled musician to reclaim his privacy. And Erin has felt a special bond with Lenny for years. So when she gets picked up hitchhiking by a mysterious man who resembles Lenny physically, she makes some quick assumptions. After all, he has extensive knowledge of the music industry, there's a guitar in his trunk, and he has issues with drugs. She's finally about to fulfill her destiny...
