A Turquoise Sunrise Tragedy
Welcome to Berry Cross, the beautiful seaside town where businesses are created and dreams begin. This economic stronghold is the home of the prominent Hoyt family. It’s not the power of money, but the strength of family that is their true value.
Matriarch June Stafford Hoyt has arrived for her annual business meetings, which she once again maneuvers into a family gathering. The pillars of support, Henry and Elizabeth Hoyt, always maintain the importance of family first and wealth second in order to overcome any obstacles, or visits from June.
June’s grandchildren Grant, the ever shrewd businessman, Jake, the entrepreneur, and Joy, the ever busy social worker, are able to prepare for her visit, but not other misfortunes that occur.
Defined as a phoenix of tragedy, this battle tested family always seems to rise, stronger than before. However, as circumstances beyond their control strike again, are the Hoyt’s able to endure all that they may possibly lose? Will the power of family triumph again when all seems lost?

It's an amazing thing to me when a book grabs your attention from the very beginning. And this book did exactly that. It gripped me from the start and even after the last page.
The Hoyt Family is the closest thing to royalty that Berry Cross has; respected, admired and feared. And the head, June Strafford Hoyt, is the pistol of the family. Her unexpected visit causes the family to go into immediate survival mode, as she is quite a handful to deal with. But with her visit also comes great highs and terrible lows.
Ms. Anderson does an amazing job of bringing this story to life for you. Her way with words and descriptive scenes draws you completely in. She has a great talent at taking you through every possible emotion know to man. I laughed, got mad and cried like a baby. Dealing with the tragedy was something that really tugged at my heart strings. The family dynamic was one that many can relate to. And, every family has a Sea Gull! Highly recommend to everyone!
