From the book’s back cover:

He made himself an island until something unexpected washed ashore.

Driftwood Tides

When Holton lost his wife, Adele, in a horrific accident, he shut himself off from the world, living a life of seclusion, making driftwood sculptures and drowning his pain in gin. Until twenty-three-year-old Libby knocks on his door, asking for a job and claiming to be a friend of his late wife. When he discovers Libby is actually Adele’s illegitimate daughter, given up for adoption without his knowledge, his life is turned upside down as he struggles to accept that the wife he’d considered a saint was not the woman he thought he knew.


Together Holton and Libby form an unlikely bond as the two struggle to learn the identity of Libby’s father and the truth about Adele, themselves, and each other.


From Jo:

Libby Slater wades through one problem after another on her search for truth. I love the way Gina Holmes weaves the continual layers of characters that affect Libby’s opinions of situations and of herself. Setting is so much a part of this story, you can feel the ocean breeze on your face and feel the sand beneath your feet. Interesting and insightful.
