Serenity Lake Marina - Paperback

by Sarasota Green (Author)

Alex Ward is home for the Fourth of July on the first anniversary of her father's death. She's always run away from her problems, but she can't run from these. Compared to her small-town classmates, she feels like a failure-this is not the way she thought her adult life would go.

Her mom's not telling her something about her dad's death, but it's all too heavy to carry, anyway. She used to drink away the hard truths of life, but newly sober, she's learning to accept or change her circumstances, and praying for the wisdom to know the difference.

When her geeky best friend from high school shows up, transformed into an attractive and confident man, they take a trip to Serenity Lake where she meets his college friends and learns what it might feel like to be loved by someone who truly knows her. He's got his own past, though, and the secret he's keeping from her could set her off running or drinking again.

Serenity Lake Marina is a redeeming story of grief, recovery, small towns, second chances, and the courage to trust an unexpected but familiar path of the heart.
