title: Sunset Beach: A Spirited Love Story
author: Purcell, Trip
description: For Laura Babson, a seven-week vacation on Sunset Beach, North Carolinas southernmost beach, seemed a relaxing way to escape the routines of life as a doctors wife in a small town. For sports columnist Neal Nickelsen, an eight-week sabbatical on the pristine barrier island promised great things for his golf game. But after seeing each other for the first time in more than twenty years, they soon discover this summer would be about something entirely different.
