Tears of Sand

Estranged from her father and left with the task of taking care of her alcoholic, sex-addicted mother, Hope, Plata Hartman's life has been conflicted and confusing, robbing her of a normal childhood and leaving her unsure of where she fits in. Hope's stand-in father, Bones, and his partner, Dee, disappear days at a time on secret missions, but his most important mission in life is to honor his best friend's dying wish - to protect his daughter, Hope. It takes a murder to convince Hope to face her demons and to send Plata on a quest to find her place in a small village on the Northwest coast of Florida. After marrying Jeremy Hartman, Plata is happy and content until a heart-wrenching tragedy strikes, causing her to realize that the course of one's life can change in a split second - as fast as a bolt of lightning. In her search to come to terms with this devastating event, life-altering secrets unfold, and Plata finds herself returning to her past on a dangerous, spine-chilling journey to rescue, perhaps kidnap, a child.
