Four famous siblings throw an epic party to celebrate the end of
the summer. But over the course of twenty-four hours, the family
drama that ensues will change their lives will change forever.
Malibu: August 1983. It's the day of Nina Riva's annual
end-of-summer party, and anticipation is at a fever pitch.
Everyone wants to be around the famous Rivas: Nina, the talented
surfer and supermodel; brothers Jay and Hud, one a championship
surfer, the other a renowned photographer; and their adored baby
sister, Kit. Together the siblings are a source of fascination in
Malibu and the world over--especially as the offspring of the
legendary singer Mick Riva.
The only person not looking forward to the party of the year is
Nina herself, who never wanted to be the center of attention, and
who has also just been very publicly abandoned by her pro tennis
player husband. Oh, and maybe Hud--because it is long past time
for him to confess something to the brother from whom he's been
inseparable since birth.
Jay, on the other hand, is counting the minutes until nightfall,
when the girl he can't stop thinking about promised she'll be
there.
And Kit has a couple secrets of her own--including a guest she
invited without consulting anyone.
By midnight the party will be completely out of control. By
morning, the Riva mansion will have gone up in flames. But before
that first spark in the early hours before dawn, the alcohol will
flow, the music will play, and the loves and secrets that shaped
this family's generations will all come rising to the surface.
Malibu Rising is a story about one unforgettable night in the
life of a family: the night they each have to choose what they
will keep from the people who made them . . . and what they will
leave behind.
