Casting About (Cedar Key Book 2)

In this beautifully crafted and uplifting novel, the author of the acclaimed <i>Spinning Forward</i> welcomes readers back to the lush Florida island of Cedar Key, where the vibrant shades of hibiscus and azaleas are the perfect backdrop to a colorful, quirky community. . .<br /><br />In the four years since Monica Brooks moved to Cedar Key, she's found a home, a husband, and now a business to love. Taking over her mother's bustling knitting shop is a welcome challenge, but Monica's exciting plans are waylaid by unexpected news. Her husband's ex-wife has been deemed an unfit mother, and custody of their eight-year-old daughter, Clarissa, is to be transferred to Adam.<br /><br />Going straight from honeymoon to motherhood--especially when she's unsure she wants children--leaves the normally even-keeled Monica doubting herself at every turn. Yet in a place like Cedar Key, nobody goes it alone. With help from friends and relatives, Monica, Clarissa, and Adam begin to forge a close-knit family of their own--one that will need to be strong enough to withstand all the surprises set to unravel. . .<br /><br /><b>Praise for Spinning Forward</b><br /><br />"Poignant, absorbing, humorous. . .a debut that tugs at the heart." --Sophia Nash, author of <i>A Dangerous Beauty</i><br /><br />"Captures the essence of what often lies in each of our hearts.
