The Gift from Turtle (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781966343004)

Following a nasty divorce from her rich banker husband, Maria Gowins is left with a rather unconventional inheritance-an old beach trailer on Banker's Point Island-and a whole lot of

cynicism when it comes to love and family life. Beside her rustic abode stands the three-story mansion of successful financial planner Jason Parker, though men are the last thing on Maria's mind once she gets her toes in the sand. But when Jason's teen daughter Bailey faces a crisis that requires support from a female role model, Maria steps in-along with Jason, and Bailey's three closest friends-to help the girl heal and find peace. With a little assistance from the ocean breeze, a mother sea turtle, and the old trailer, the group forms a lasting bond, and Maria learns that love and family can come in many different forms.
