DRIFTWOOD DREAMS by T. I. LOWE is the second novel in the series and in it we come across the characters we get to know in Beach Haven. I really recommend that you read the books in sequence for maximum enjoyment, but it could be read as as a stand alone. The author has a way of writing that really grips you and draws you into the story, and, although she deals with some harsh realities such as depression, there is hope and humour running through the book.Josie Slater has had a crush on August Bradford since their school days. Dreaming of pursuing her art, as he has done most successfully, a tragedy makes her withdraw into herself, and give up her dream of going to art school.

Dreaming of pursuing her art, as he has done most successfully, a tragedy makes her withdraw into herself, and give up her dream of going to art school. She is loving and kind, but very self effacing, and has taken on everyone she feels needs her help until she has hardly any time for herself.
August is a most interesting character as well. After a horrific early childhood, he took matters in his own hands, at the tender age of eleven, to find a good family for himself and his younger brother Tucker. Well travelled and famous, he comes back to Sunset Cove to stay. He and his uncle Carter have a dream of establishing a children's camp where art, music, and general fun are the order of the day. He is fluent in French and I like the way he uses the language to express his feelings, both verbally and in his art.
I am not going to tell you any more for fear of spoiling things for you. I highly recommend this most enjoyable read for anyone who enjoys Christian romance with a deeper meaning.
