My Way Home

For over twenty years, Cammy Coleman dreamt of visiting the beautiful island of St. Gabriel. Filled with history and tradition, the island is surrounded by the brilliant northern waters of Lake Brigade. Charming old buildings line its main street, and grand homes, cottages, gardens and woods complete the picture-perfect landscape. Life has never allowed Cammy to make the trip to St. Gabe, but she's been content to be a homemaker, mother, and wife to her husband of twenty-five years, tucking away her dreams for someday.

But when the husband Cammy adores asks for a divorce, she's devastated; the last thing she wants to do is leave the safety and solitude of her home. Her well-meaning friends, however, have something else in mind. Hoping to distract her from her grief, they convince Cammy to go with them on a week-long retreat to St. Gabriel. Cammy grudgingly agrees, but finds herself immediately drawn to the island and an abandoned lodge in a way that opens up the possibilities of a new life, new loves and finding her way home.

Warm and inviting, My Way Home is a touching, entertaining and emotionally powerful story that speaks to the inner strength within us all.

Coming in 2012...

Cammy's discoveries and adventures continue in the second book of the St. Gabriel series. After learning long-kept family secrets in My Way Home, Cammy still has some questions and is determined to find answers. Her seeking leads to new surprises that keep life on St. Gabriel Island interesting for Cammy and for her family and friends as well.
