Pebbles In A Shell

by Barbara Baldwin

Everything Bonnie Keeler believes about life and marriage changes the day she discovers her husband's infidelity. Not only has he broken their wedding vows, but he blames her romance writing and shames her into giving up her passion - creating stories of mystery and romance; always with happily-ever-after endings. Leaving everything behind, she travels to Cape Cod, where she can wallow in self pity and drown her sorrows in the ocean. Two things interfere with Bonnie's self-imposed solitude—the ghost in her rental house who is protective of her and Robert Garrett, a soft-spoken bookseller, who quietly infiltrates her life and helps her re-discover her self-worth. Can she trust her heart again to find the laughter and love missing in her life? Is the ghost trying to tell her it's never too late to live happily ever after?
