The salt air bristled with lightning as Rachel stepped nervously out onto the precarious widow's walk of the old lighthouse. Suspended between earth and sky, she scanned the angry, wind-whipped sea for any sign of the man whose marriage proposal she'd just refused. Struggling to understand the two men in her life, Rachel battles to make a future for herself and her young daughter out of her family legacy by turning Grand-Papa's old Victorian into a bed and breakfast. Just when she begins to trust, her confidence is shaken by disturbing revelations about the past she believed to be long buried beneath the sand-swept graves of her husband and parents. Now she has desperate choices to make on a shaky widow's walk suspended between earth and sky--her life suspended between hope and despair. Against the backdrop of a vast and eternal sea, shadowed by the worst kind of betrayal, can Rachel triumph over her fear that love breaks all its promises?

In the fifth volume in the Secret Beaches series, one of two on the Salish Sea, you'll discover noteworthy beaches in the northern Gulf Islands, including Denman, Quadra, Gabriola, Hornby and Texada. As in his previous volumes, Theo gives full descriptions of each beach so that you'll be able to find the right location for your activity, from group picnics to romantic cuddles, leisurely strolls to wild woodsy walks, family explorations to soul-searching solitary afternoons watching the clouds race across an island-dotted horizon. Discover where to launch a kayak, where to catch some rays or where to spot surf scoters, harlequin ducks and Pacific white-sided dolphins. Theo's hand-drawn maps are indispensable, as each island marks its public beach access points differently, if they mark them at all. His detailed entries are accompanied by an illustrative photo or painting for each beach. As usual, the charming paintings and photos are done by Theo himself.
