Publisher's Summary

From the internationally best-selling author of Moondust Lake comes an emotional and enriching novel of family, forgiveness, self-acceptance, and self-discovery...

When the darkness seems too hard to bear, there’s only one thing left to do.

Six years ago, Daniel was a Los Angeles financial analyst who was too handsome for his own good. Too smart for his anchor job on the nightly news. And too enamored with the heady addictions of the high life. That man died in a tragic accident with his fiancée. With grief and guilt battling for control, Daniel moved to the quiet California seaside town of Miramar Bay with his best friend - a rescue Labradoodle who still sees him through rough times. Daniel’s a different man now. Clean, sober, and taking things one day at a time with no commitments to anyone except himself. And just as his solitude begins to chafe, two souls in need of fresh starts unexpectedly enter Daniel’s life...

Realize that it’s time to wake up.

Daniel’s self-centered sister has dissolved several longtime relationships. Theirs included. The latest? Her restless teenage daughter, Nicole, whom she’s dropped off in Miramar Bay without a backward glance. For Nicole, who’s never felt at home in the world, it only confirms the disconnect she’s always had with her mother. Now, left with an uncle she barely knows, Nicole is more adrift than ever. Yet to Daniel’s surprise, playing surrogate father is forging a bond that he needs, too. More difficult for Daniel is the possibility of romance with lovely and fragile Stella Dalley. 

Struggling with a trauma of her own, the single mother is as cautious about love as Daniel is - no matter how healing it could be. But for Daniel, Stella, and Nicole there’s still hope for a tomorrow they can call their own. All they have do is to learn to trust in each other, and in themselves.

A powerful novel of new beginnings, chances taken, and hearts lost and found, Tranquility Falls is a timeless love story to treasure.

More than I expected

This is a new author to me. I like his easy style of writing, and subject matters. This books deals with Alcoholism and recovery.It deals with teenagers messy families and uncovering who stole the money. The book also shows how young adults can show respect for adults. This book also shows how people deal with the loss of a child or a fiance who was killed in a car rec.The story also encompasses a recovered alcoholic getting back into his old environment of work without falling into the same pattern of alcohol and drugs.

A Story of Transformation

This story charts the transformation of five different people at a key change point in each of their lives. As with all change, it has struggles and even danger, but it is gratifying to listen as they find resolution.

The narrator is excellent, and soothing to hear. He does a good job of conveying emotion and the voices of different characters.

I heartily recommend "Tranquility Falls."

Great!

The narrator drew me into the story quickly. Now I want to know what happens next!
