Coastal Healing (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781738899579)

A shattered soldier. An unexpected rescue. A second chance at redemption.

At 27, Heather Hatfield returns to her coastal hometown in Nova Scotia, carrying the weight of a shattered career and an uncertain future. Her once-promising military service has come to an abrupt end, leaving her confidence in pieces and her sense of purpose adrift. Worse, she fears how her military discharge will read and how it might define her in ways she can't control.

Seeking solace, Heather turns to the place that once brought her peace-the rugged cliffs and salt-kissed air of her childhood. Long walks along the shore, familiar faces, and the steady rhythm of the waves seem like the perfect refuge to clear her mind and rebuild what's been broken.

But when a simple fishing trip turns into a dramatic rescue, Heather is thrust into the public eye as an unexpected hero. With the media's attention comes a looming fear: that her past will be exposed, and the fragile sense of self she's rebuilding will come crashing down. Can she outrun her past, or is this small community the key to embracing a future she never saw coming?
