PD Soares has survived divorce, infertilty, a dead second husband and a tsunami. You’d think that would be enough. In this sequel to Up Beaver Creek, PD is trying to figure out what happens next. Is it too soon for a new romance? Is it too late to become a professional musician? She is just beginning to find her way when a series of new crises knocks it all to bits. Luckily, she has friends and her partners in the Seal Rock Sound band to help her figure things out. Or does she?
We meet a colorful cast of coastal characters, including Donovan Green, known around town as the crazy artist who makes sculptures out of broken glass, pipes, and toilets; his niece Janey, who sings like an angel and speaks in exclamation points; the Rainbow Ladies Maryann and Dakota; Diana of Diana’s Diner; Helen Chan, who lost her home in the tsunami, and more. Each proves the road sign that declares their town “The Friendliest” tells the truth.
Love or Marriage: When You Can’t Have Both
It’s like this giant secret that is right in front of everyone. One in five women and even more men don’t have children—at least not their own. For more than half of them, it was not by choice. Their partners a) never wanted children, b) already had kids from a previous relationship, c) never quite felt ready for parenthood, d) had had a vasectomy, or e) had fertility problems. They are forced to make a choice between this man or woman they love and the children they might have had.
