Driftwood Tides
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Description
He made himself an island until something unexpected washed ashore.
When Holton lost his wife, Adele, in a freak accident, he shut himself off from the world, living a life of seclusion, making driftwood sculptures and drowning his pain in gin. Until twenty-three-year-old Libby knocks on his door, asking for a job and claiming to be a friend of his late wife. When he discovers Libby is actually his late wife's illegitimate daughter, given up for adoption without his knowledge, his life is turned upside down as he struggles to accept that the wife he'd given saint status to was not the woman he thought he knew.
Together Holton and Libby form an unlikely bond as the two struggle to learn the identity of Libby's father and the truth about Adele, themselves, and each other.

September 15, 2014
Libby Slater has been living her life fulfilling the expectations of others, never quite sure of herself. When a routine blood test shatters the world she thought she knew, Libby decides to take matters into her own hands and discover who she truly is. Holton Creary is a man lost. After the death of his wife, he turned to the bottle and watched his life slowly turn to shambles. Libby's unexpected arrival on his doorstep is exactly what he needs to shake him back into reality. As Libby faces the fact that she was adopted, and Holton comes to terms with the secret his late wife never revealed, the two begin to grow out of the molds they had forced themselves into. Holmes' (Dry as Rain, 2011) novel moves like a serene sea: gentle, persuasive, and transformative. Much in the same way time and the elements turn driftwood into something beautiful, Libby and Holton learn that they, too, can change for the better. Readers will delight in this story of redemption and growth.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)
