About This Book

Three young women and their genial uncle spend time in California while working with a motion-picture company. During a beach outing one sister rescues a nearly drowned young man who identifies himself only as A. Jones and seems linked to an enigmatic place called Sangoa. His recovery, sudden departures and return, and the household's efforts to learn his origins drive a light mystery woven through episodes at the film studio, social outings including time aboard a yacht, and the sisters' lively camaraderie.
