Produktbeschreibung

***Braving the Shore was selected as the first place winner for excellence in fiction at The Author Zone Awards for 2023.*** How do you brave the shore when what's beyond it holds more questions than the deepest ocean? Chelsea Beckett thinks she's finally got her life together. Officially divorced for months, she's settling into being a single mom to her adorable five-year-old and balancing running The Salty Cupcake Mermaid Bakery Café, her other pride and joy. Despite looking like a mirror image, Jocelyn Bloom couldn't be more different than her twin Chelsea. Her popular travel blog turned into her own TV show, and she spends her days planning her next adventure. India, France, Chile, Germany . . . she's touched the earth in many parts of the world, constantly running from one city to another, but always staying close with her sister. When these two women reunite for their much anticipated celebration of their 35th birthday, though, an accident upends their worlds. Afterward, Chelsea must navigate memory loss as she struggles to regain her footing, while watching Jocelyn go through her own tough recovery. But Chelsea soon discovers that her life is more complicated than she thought, especially when unexpected sparks fly in the relationship department. As her past surrounds her-and a mysterious friend shows up to give advice-she must determine how to continue on her life path . . . if she even wants to. Will Chelsea attempt to reignite an old flame? Or does she need to brave another shore to discover where she belongs? Working with the themes of returning home, self-discovery, relationships, and love, this novel features a female protagonist and has a tone similar to Barbara O'Neal's When we Believed in Mermaids. "Cori Wamsley writes an intriguing story, one she has artfully woven with the unbreakable bonds of sisterly love and the infinite connection to the spiritual realm." J.D. Wylde, Author "Chelsea's journey of perseverance at all costs was inspiring. As a mom to two young girls, seeing the strength of her relationship with Jocelyn struck a personal chord. Braving the Shore demonstrates how overcoming great challenges and discovering your life's path is all the more meaningful when it's done alongside those you love." Kimber Wood, Book Blogger "Cori Wamsley sparks intrigue in her newest novel Braving the Shore by bringing reality and the ethereal together to find balance in the chaos for the lives of twins Chelsea and Jocelyn. She is a brilliant and colorfully descriptive author." Sue E. Fattibene, Life Coach, Author, Inspirational Speaker "Braving the Shore is a delightful story that shows us how important it is to listen, remember who we are, and make brave choices. It will be a great book for anyone needing a sweet, little nudge to be courageous, receive support, and claim who they are." Gabrielle Smith Noye
