Dispatches From Spirit Cove: A Sam Williams Mystery

WHAT HAPPENED SO LONG AGO IN SPIRIT COVE CANNOT HAPPEN AGAIN. ALL MUST KNOW.--THE DISPATCHERThe crimes that created the idyllic coastal town of Spirit Cove return in force to remind its current residents of the buried truth all would rather ignore, or forget. Visitors Sam Williams and her mother, Ellen, find their own survival embroiled in the newly-posted dispatches that threaten to rip the town apart. Her mother and her grandmother had a bitter fight twenty years ago. They've not spoken since. They've not seen each other. Now Sam Williams wants to find her grandmother and heal the deep cut that still wounds her family.Months earlier, the nearly debilitating effects of an attack by a bully in her school made Sam the only person who could see the true story that explained the decades-old disappearance of Millie Williams, her grandmother's sister, and her dog, Canino. Now Sam finds she must put those same abilities to work to find her grandmother.When the new millennium began, 17-year-old Ellen Williams left home after a bitter argument with her mother. Ellen enlisted, and refused ever to return home, write, call, or speak to her parents again.Twenty years later, in spite of her mother's strong objections, 15-year-old Sam Williams, Ellen's daughter, wants to track down her long-lost grandmother and reconnect. For months Sam's search bears no fruit. She convinces Ellen that for their upcoming vacation they should go to Big Sur, where Ellen grew up, to see if any of those still living there who knew Ann Williams and Ted, her husband, can tell them what happened to the couple.Sam's search for her grandmother collides with a 20-year-old mystery that still troubles Spirit Cove, a small Northern California coastal community nestled in the remains of a primal redwood forest. Sam and Ellen's investigation soon threatens Spirit Cove's founding family. Only Sam comes to see the connections between the disappearance of her grandmother and the ancient mysteries that still haunt Spirit Cove.
