As a child, Ava Whalen never felt like she fit in. The only
daughter in a family of five kids, she spent her early years
trying to earn her mother's approval. So when she meets the
handsome psychologist Matthew Frazier and falls madly in
love, it comes as no surprise the two quickly marry. When
Ava makes the choice to move to St. Simons Island, the home
of Matthew's ancestral roots, it puts an emotional strain on
her already fragile relationship with her family forging a
rift between the ones she loves.
Despite her mother's objections, Ava is looking forward to
her new life. Right from the start, her fear of water makes
island living a challenge. Yet with the help of her
attentive husband, she feels certain she can put her
anxieties to rest. As the couple settles into married life,
some disturbing news about Matthew's past puts their
relationship in jeopardy. When accusations of foul play
surface, Ava begins to question the true identity of the man
she loves.
As Ava learns more about Matthew's family, she begins to
feel a connection with his past. While doing some research
for the island's historical society, Ava discovers a
bittersweet love affair between Matthew's ancestors, Pamela
and Geoffrey Frazier. A simple assignment to uncover the
past soon becomes an obsession for Ava to find her future.
With the hope for a second chance, Ava must decide if she is
willing to open her heart in order to find a place she can
truly call home.

For Ava Whalen, a new marriage and a move to St. Simons
Island means a new beginning. But what she doesn’t realize
is that her marriage will take her on an unexpected journey
into the deep recesses of her past that will transform her
forever…
For as long as she can remember, Ava Whalen has struggled
with a sense of not belonging, and now, at thirty-four, she
still feels stymied by her family. Then she meets child
psychologist Matthew Frazier, and thinks her days of
loneliness are behind her. After a whirlwind romance, they
impulsively elope, and Ava moves to Matthew’s ancestral home
on St. Simons Island off the coast of Georgia.
But after the initial excitement, Ava is surprised to
discover that true happiness continues to elude her. There
is much she doesn’t know about Matthew, including the
mysterious circumstances surrounding his first wife’s death.
And her new home seems to hold as many mysteries and secrets
as her new husband. Feeling adrift, Ava throws herself into
uncovering Matthew’s family history and that of the island,
not realizing that she has a connection of her own to this
place—or that her obsession with the past could very well
destroy her future.
