Storm Warning Unleashes Gorgeous Prose and Gripping Drama - A Southern barrier island pulses with breathtaking beauty as well as heart-stopping danger, in Storm Warning, and author Gerry Wilson’s lyrical storytelling will keep readers spellbound. In her cleverly interconnected stories, Yemassee Island’s extreme weather mirrors human conflicts, from struggling marriages to lost children. Against a stunning backdrop where “the ocean shades from azure to lapis, the surf like froth,” this epic collection documents the lives of a widowed innkeeper, a hungry teenager’s job as a lightkeeper, a minister’s mid-life search for purpose, a young woman’s longing to connect with her mother, and much more. Wilson is a master of suspense with a deep understanding of love, loss, hope, and resilience. Readers will flip pages faster than a hurricane as they race to learn how each storm affects the community, the landscape, and Wilson’s precisely crafted characters. I highly recommend this gorgeous collection of compelling stories.
