Publisher's summary

People can’t be trusted.

Animals always made more sense than humans did to marine biologist Skye Youngblood. After her mother’s suicide, she left Alabama and never looked back. These days, she pours her heart into protecting nature’s sea creatures. When she returns to Dauphin Island, Alabama for a temporary manatee migration study, her dark past is much too close. She can’t let her guard down. But how can she keep her heart hidden when a kind man with a genuine smile makes her want a fresh start?

Charter fishing pays the bills for widower Pete Thompson and his little girl, but like his father, a pastor, Pete can’t help but fish for men. Only, after growing up under constant scrutiny as a preacher’s kid, Pete’s ways are a bit more unconventional. And the bulk of his life revolves around raising his precious daughter.

When he witnesses the car wreck of a new marine biologist on the island, it doesn’t take a genius to see that more than just her physical pain needs tending. Pete feels called to help Skye find true healing, but he’s navigating dangerous waters. And he’s not at all sure he’ll walk away unscathed.

true healing

I believe the author did an amazing job handling a possibly triggering subject matter. Skye suffered great abuse as a child and still lives with the memories and results. Pete has suffered the loss of his wife and still suffers from that loss. Their first meeting brings them together rather quickly. I loved how these two learned how to put their trust more and more in the Lord and experience true healing. Loved her adopted mom and his mom. Not an instant relationship which I truly liked. Great ending. I listened to this book on audible. Loved the narrator's voice for Skye. Did a great job of switching voices.

An absolutely amazing story of healing.

This is the first book I have listened to by this author and narrator and I have to say together they have given us a story that will touch your heart ❤️. Skye is a beautiful young woman who has had to deal with many heartbreaking situations that she feels she must hide inside. After all who would want anything to do with someone that has such secrets. Pete has also been through a terrible blow that has left him as a charter boat captain trying to make a living for him and his young daughter. I found the characters so easy to care about especially the young girls Sparrow and Pete's daughter. The information about the wildlife that is natural to Florida and Alabama was very interesting to find out about. A really great book that I would definitely recommend.
I received a free code for this book from the publisher to listen to on Audible. This review is my own honest opinion.
