Synopsis

Fifty years ago, he lost the wife and daughter he adored. Is it too late to get them back? Arthur Ridge’s dreams of a good life were ripped away when he was handed a gun and sent off to war. He returned a broken man, unable to care for himself and the family he loved. For fifty years, he did the work. He made a change. Now… is all hope still lost? Stacy Parker certainly doesn’t think so. But while she’s promised to help right a wrong from five decades ago, she also has her hands full in the present. Navigating a new town, new friendships, and a new relationship would be enough to make anyone’s head spin, but add in a frivolous lawsuit from her ex-husband’s affair partner and she’s about to spin right off the planet. And speaking of being overwhelmed… Tessa Carver knows a thing or two about that. As a single mother and a business owner, she’s had to learn to rise above a tragic childhood and make a life for her and her son. The island has been her refuge and her safe place… until her past decides to walk into her coffee shop and take a front-row seat. Tensions are heating up on the island, but one thing is for certain: the sun always rises over Sunflower Beach. Lose yourself in the saltwater days and firefly nights of Sunflower Beach, where a cast of unforgettable characters help each other navigate love and loss, hope and heartache, found family, and second chances. This romantic women’s fiction series is suitable for all ages, and is best read in order.
