Where the Waves Break: A Magnolia Beach Prequel

When Hazel's new husband abandons her in a Cracker Barrel parking lot with nothing but cruel words and scattered dreams, she has one impossible choice to make.

She could take the safe route back to her old life, her old job, her old self. Or she could do something that terrifies and thrills her in equal measure... continue to Magnolia Beach alone, with nothing but hope and the clothes on her back.

In a charming coastal town where everyone seems to have a story, Hazel discovers that sometimes the best thing that can happen to you is the worst thing that can happen to you. Between working at the quirky Sip and Shop, rescuing a shaggy stray dog named Chance, and letting the kindness of strangers slowly heal her broken heart, she begins to understand a truth she never expected.

Home isn't where someone takes you. It's where you choose to stay.
