The book is the little known story of the African-American part of Sag Harbor. It is a coming of age book and tells the story of a transformation from boyhood to manhood. There is no real designated plot but the stories, especially the coke and ice cream stories were wonderful.
The book makes you feel that you had summered in Sag Harbor.
The novel is lacking in character development. The reader would like to know more about Benji's parents and sister and why Elena never came home and encouraged Benji to leave once he graduated from college.
