~ Standard Hardcover
Teenage Eulabee and her magnetic best friend, Maria Fabiola, own the streets of Sea Cliff, their foggy oceanside San Francisco neighborhood that they know inside and out, until one day while walking to school, they witness a horrible act. Or did they? Vehemently disagreeing on what happened ruptures their close relationship, followed shortly thereafter by Maria's disappearance . . .
An achingly beautiful and wickedly funny story of female friendship, betrayal, and a mysterious disappearance set in the changing landscape of San Francisco, We Run the Tides offers a masterful portrait of an inimitable place on the brink of radical transformation.
"Vida’s San Francisco is ramshackle and eccentric, home to heiresses but also tide pools of counterculture backwash providing a backdrop to the unstable sensation of early adolescent reality in which outlandish lies can seem weirdly plausible and basic facts totally alien." -- New York Times Book Review
