Between the Sound and Sea: A Novel

A beautiful, romantic, faith filled mystery! Between the Sound and Sea completely grabbed hold of my imagination and didn’t let go. Full of secrets, legends, history, and restoration, this dual time line romance takes place on North Carolina’s Outer Banks in 2007 & the 1940’s. I enjoyed both timelines and how the past & present were woven together with plenty of twists along the way. It’s a lovely story about regrets, fear, and moving forward with romance & a touch of humor. Highly recommend!

With characters as weather-worn as the lighthouse itself, readers take a front row seat as friends and family are providentially transplanted together to search for the truth of Bleakpoint Island and Saint Mae. Add a little wisdom, capricious folklore and a few well placed, mysterious happenings and you end up with another restored, Amanda Cox community you want to be a part of. I received this book from the author/publisher free of charge, with no expectation of a positive review.

Masterfully weaving history with mystery along with contemporary fiction, this book hooked me from page one and would not let go. Set in the Outer Banks, it is the story of a young woman who takes on the daunting task of restoring a lighthouse that holds many secrets. The book has a touch of romance in it, but mostly I was drawn to the themes of resilience, forgiveness and perseverance during hard times. All opinions expressed are my own.
