Prequel to Magic of Acadia
Dominique: The impact of the crash woke her, panic clutching at her heart, squeezing her throat. She sat bolt upright in her bed, gasping for breath, eyes wide with horror. The early morning light touched the dark corners of the room, landed gently on the brightly colored quilt wrapped in confused contours around her legs. She looked around the room, trying to calm her night terrors. All was familiar and far from the horror she’d seen in her dreams. She felt the peace returning, creeping quietly like the mist over Seal Cove. She reached for her silk robe, soft peach, sliding its shimmering lightness over her back and arms, hiding the ugliness of the scars that would never fade. Much to be done, she reminded herself with gentle sternness. Folks are coming.
Courtney & Jeremy: She’s ready for a family. He’d rather play video games all day. Can this young couple learn to understand each other or are they destined for divorce?
David, Lily, & Violet: They suffered a tragic loss that’s tearing their family apart. Can they find healing in the gentle sun and crashing surf of Acadia?
Lorna: Her life’s path was certain. Raise her family, serve her community, take care of her husband, and finally retire. She plans the trip of a lifetime with her husband to celebrate his retirement. Instead, she shows up alone. Can she find herself again after years of caring for others more than herself?
Susan & Henry: Two not-so-young people who have been unlucky in love. They’ve learned to be content alone. Both damaged by difficult pasts, they wonder if it’s it too late for them to have love in their lives.
And what secrets does the tattered guest book at the vacation cottage hold for each of them?
