Falmouth Awakenings (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798231799268)

Amy Gruntle has only ever known one kind of life, the kind where her husband takes charge of everything while she wilts away in the background, under his ever-watchful eye. Tethered to a life of suffocation under his controlling shadow, she never imagined liberation-until a lifeline appears in an unexpected form: Lily, her stepdaughter.

In a daring flight to freedom, Amy flees, leaving behind a cryptic email and a life of oppression. Provincetown was supposed to be her sanctuary, but it's in Falmouth, under the roof of Lily's Aunt, where Amy finally inhales life anew. Yet, her husband's threats loom large, and the bewildered hurt of her children who can't grasp her sudden departure or her fear of Eric, haunts her every step.

As Amy struggles to rediscover her forgotten self, amidst her children's confusion, she finds an unlikely ally in Emily Hamilton Ricker-Lily's cousin. Emily, grappling with her husband's death and a business sinking under his debts, discovers in Amy a kindred spirit.

In this fourth installment, two women are thrust together by fate, navigating the turbulent waters of grief and new beginnings. Falmouth's tranquil backdrop sets the stage for a story of profound transformation and the intricate dance of joy and heartache.

"Falmouth Awakening" is a testament to the strength found in fresh starts and the unexpected friendships that become our anchors. Join Amy and Emily as they confront their pasts and embark on a journey that promises a future as unpredictable as it is hopeful. Can they redefine themselves amidst the complex tapestry of loss and renewal?
