Sometimes, when you need a change in your life, the tide
just happens to pull you in the right direction….
Ellis, Julia, and Dorie. Best friends since Catholic grade
school, they now find themselves, in their mid-thirties, at
the crossroads of life and love. Ellis, recently fired from
a job she gave everything to, is rudderless and now
beginning to question the choices she's made over the past
decade of her life. Julia—whose caustic wit covers up her
wounds--has a man who loves her and is offering her the
world, but she can't hide from how deeply insecure she
feels
about her looks, her brains, her life. And Dorie has just
been shockingly betrayed by the man she loved and trusted
the most in the world…though this is just the tip of the
iceberg of her problems and secrets. A month in North
Carolina's Outer Banks is just what they each of them
needs.
Ty Bazemore is their landlord, though he's hanging on to
the
rambling old beach house by a thin thread. After an
inauspicious first meeting with Ellis, the two find
themselves disturbingly attracted to one another, even as Ty
is about to lose everything he's ever cared about.
Maryn Shackleford is a stranger, and a woman on the run.
Maryn needs just a few things in life: no questions, a good
hiding place, and a new identity. Ellis, Julia, and Dorie
can provide what Maryn wants; can they also provide what she
needs?
Five people questioning everything they ever thought they
knew about life. Five people on a journey that will uncover
their secrets and point them on the path to forgiveness.
Five people who each need a sea change, and one month in a
summer rental that might just give it to them.
