Why read it?

1 author picked One True Loves as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love a book that puts a regular person in an impossible situation, and boy, does this one deliver.

It follows a woman who has found love again after losing her “one true love” in an accident at sea, only for him to show up again right as she is putting her life back together.

I loved these characters deeply and ached for them all as they muddled through an extraordinary set of circumstances. It’s an excellent study of love and how it can change as we grow older.

New book alert!

Why am I passionate about this?

I have been writing all my life, but was never able to find my voice until I had my daughters. It was for them I wrote “Wrightsville Beach”. I wanted to show them what a good relationship should look like and how their decisions make a difference in where they will go. I want my readers to relive that feeling of falling in love and to be sent in unexpected directions, as life so often does to us. I want you to enjoy it so much, you don’t want to put the book down until it’s finished and once you do, to sit and reflect on it, savoring the feeling it has left behind.
