Sparrow Beach Shelby Raebeck

Living on Long Island's fast developing East End, local builder Michael Dorian is forced to reckon: with a building industry being overrun by Manhattan developers; with a failing marriage and teenage daughter riddled with anxiety; with the nature of a hauntingly beautiful place that offers opportunity but no longer feels like home.

Sparrow Beach is about the dark cloud of excess that threatens to consume Long Island's East End, and about the patchwork of characters that live beneath it, those who adapt, finding new paths amidst the changing landscape, and those who refuse to.
