On her sixteenth birthday, Layla Scott uncovered an unimaginably cruel secret, and over the years tried too many times to stop the hurt. Now her sister is in the last place Layla wants to be, remembering someone Layla wants to forget, and dangerously close to the painful truth.
Loss, grief and guilt have kept Chelsea clinging to her childhood home, alienating her husband and kids. She’s now alone in the house nobody wants to live in but her, and surrounded by memories of a beloved father the sea swept away three decades earlier. Chelsea hopes to confront her past trauma by returning to Sandbar Campground, but her fears only intensify when her estranged sister shows up.
Can Layla, along with local surfing fanatic, Thaddeus Poulle, help Chelsea see she’s holding too tight to all the wrong things and . . .
. . . the sea always gives up its secrets.
