Sand Dollars and Secret Letters (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798232303976)

What if you tossed a message in a bottle out to sea...and the tide carried back everything you ever dreamed of...only for you to discover it was built on a lie?

Sand Dollars and Secret Letters (A Love on Turtle Island Book 5)

Everyone believed Sharon's relationship with Alan was perfect. It wasn't. And after his death two years ago, admitting the truth-that their marriage was one of convenience-was unthinkable. But Sharon is done pretending. On what would have been their twenty-fifth anniversary, she writes a final goodbye to Alan, slips it into the wine bottle they'd planned to celebrate with, and casts it into the sea, certain no one will ever read her painfully private words.

She's wrong.

Bruce Barnes, a famous writer who has lost his touch, is desperate to escape scathing reviews and angry fans. He jets off to Turtle Island, oblivious to what awaits him. His father is critically ill, and lives in a hoarder house that's more shocking than any of Bruce's best-selling horror novels. Then, while jogging, he stumbles on a washed-up message in a bottle and becomes fixated with finding its writer.

Bruce tracks Sharon down, and their unlikely friendship stirs hope in each of them. They begin to see themselves-and those around them-more clearly. But soon Sharon starts receiving anonymous postcards that rattle her sense of peace. Though the notes are sweet and uplifting, she can't help but wonder who is watching her so closely...and why now?

When the truth about how Bruce entered Sharon's life is revealed, she sends him away, shattered. He is heartbroken, but determined to convince Sharon to forgive him. He wonders if she'll accept the only truth that matters: that he fell in love with her mind before ever seeing her face.

When the universe hands you everything you ever wanted, would you still take it-knowing it was built on a lie?
