Cape Farewell

In this moving and bittersweet novel from the internationally bestselling author of the Miramar Bay series, a young man seeking escape from his broken dreams finds enlightenment with two enigmatic sisters on a remote California desert outpost.

There’s only one way to move forward . . .

A forever outsider, fitting in has never been a strong suit for Colin Eames. Not that he hasn’t tried. But when he’s knocked down by another emotional blow, he joins two other burned-out friends determined to redefine their direction in life. That wanderlust brings them to a festival in the California desert, alive with vibrant and welcoming strangers, and unexpected new experiences. It’s also a chance for Colin to try to put a heartbreaking past behind him. Then, on a solitary walk, he comes upon young twin sisters outside their ratty RV. Planted in the dust is a sign: Healer of Broken Hopes. By appointment only.

Reckon with the past and let it go . . .

Jodi and Gael, alike with golden freckles and long, white-blond hair, are on a journey of sorts too, in a rusty old vehicle held together by a fierce bond and fueled by bittersweet family memories. In what seems like destiny, Colin is drawn to these two compelling women. One, powerful and commanding. The other as fragile as spun crystal. Both, abiding a personal storm of their own. Over the passing days, as their friendship grows into something deeper and new challenges arise, Colin comes to understand the preciousness of life, how to weather its inevitable changes, and maybe even reclaim what was lost: Hope. Love. And the promise of a second chance.
