Description

The critically acclaimed author returns to the North Carolina landscape she knows so well with this gloriously written sequel to Moon Women. On an eastbound North Carolina interstate highway, the mountains and her hometown far behind, Cassandra Moon realizes that she has not only broken the heart of the one man who's ever asked her to marry--on their wedding day, no less--but she's driven the limousine into the ground, gotten "skunk drunk" on the champagne, and has somehow managed to get show more herself stuck in the sunroof while still in her wedding gown. Caught in a whirlwind of taffeta and tulle, heartache and second guesses, Cassandra desperately needs some peace of mind. When she arrives in the coastal town of Salter Path--disheveled and in the company of a mysterious red-haired seafaring man--Cassandra knows for sure that her life has taken a turn she can't quite understand. But the people Cassandra encounters on this unexpected odyssey will share with her the hurts and hopes of a lifetime, and she may finally realize that getting lost in this oceanside town, in the memories and dreams of its people, is the only way she'll be found. show less

Lynn's Pick-Cassandra Moon is running away from her life. It just so happens she picks her wedding day to start running. After living in the small mountain town of Davis her whole life, Cassandra realizes that she has never really made any of her own decisions. She takes off heading towards the wide open spaces of the NC coast. Once there she finds family, friends, and maybe even true love. This book had great characters and I loved the idea that love remains love regardless of your age.
