Pick up the paddles, row out to your own Portion of the Sea. A novel about chasing after the wants and dreams one has for their life  

 Description

LATE 1800s. Desperate to feel good again, Abigail Witherton leaves winters behind and moves her family to Sanibel Island, Florida—known as a healing paradise. The barrier island off Florida’s Gulf Coast proves the perfect place for her outdoorsy coming-of-age daughter, Ava, who cares less about her beauty, and more about her voice being heard.

1953. Young Lydia Isleworth, who questions societal norms, visits Sanibel Island and gets hold of Ava’s journal filled with heartache, island secrets and motivating wisdom.

We have natural resources placed within us as abundant as the sea, but if we don’t tap into them, they’ll lie dormant within. And our lives will never change.

So launches the story of parallel lives, of two strong, creative, independent women from different centuries living on the same island, one guiding the other in pursuit of adventure, aspirations, and love. Both leave the desires of their hearts behind for exciting careers—one in Chicago, the other in New York. But when something is missing, each must decide. Will they return to their favorite portion of the sea, and reclaim their treasures left behind?

The perfect book for grandmothers, mothers, and daughters
