This was a happy story. There were dramatic moments, but they all made up a story with many interesting and family type typical angst. It also involved a hurricane approaching that added much tension to push this story along. Lisa Wingate wrote this story, but I read it after I had read "The Prayer Box" which Wingate also wrote. It didn't matter.I was fascinated by the family dynamic of two sisters in their sixties who had been separated through their own agendas, one trying to make the other fit in her mold the way things should be. There of course was some bullying--but such a useless tool when it comes to people who have struck out independently to live their dream and see it flourish. Mrs. Wingate made her characters come to life. Her scenery on NC's Outer Bank was well described, and like I said, this was a happy story.
