Awash with Summer Roses is a story about a troublemaking teenager named Moriah. Her parents send her off to her grandparents for the summer to work in their rose garden and reshape her attitude, but that’s where she meets a mysterious boy named Avery. At first, Avery seems like a goody-goody, but he just might be a troublemaker, too. Moriah sees him sneak into the small town’s forbidden forest, and she starts to think her summer might not turn out so boring after all.
