Serenity Point

by Christy Truitt

Melanie Graham, a frustrated stay-at-home mother of three, strikes out on a weekend of reluctant self-examination, leaving her bewildered family behind. Armed with Tylenol PM and the latest in a long line of dog-eared, self-help books, Melanie travels alone to a bed and breakfast on the east coast of Florida called Serenity Point. It is there she teams up with a young widower from Atlanta who, through his own losses, journeys with her down that rocky slope of change that destiny inevitably brings. In just one weekend, Melanie finds the life she was always meant to have, but never had the courage to claim. Serenity Point is a generational life story played across the backdrop of the American Southeast. It is a fictional account of how one woman allowed the childhood experiences of an emotionally reclusive father and a dramatically tragic mother to fashion her own future.
