A Barefoot Tide (Barefoot Tides Series)
Description
CindyLovesBooks.comxa0 ~ A Barefoot Tide by Grace Greene is a touching story of finding the beauty in life, despite the trials and tragedies life has put in the way.Author Grace Greene has a talent for writing heart warming stories of individuals overcoming adversity - and doing so with patience and grace - when many others would take a much different route. This isxa0 true of the stories in her Emerald Isle and Cub Creek series, as well as this and other individual titles.What makes A Barefoot Tide unique? Possibly my favorite Grace Greene novel yet, this is a crossover. The main character, Lilliane, lives in Cub Creek, but is about to be offered a life changing opportunity in Emerald Isle! A huge fan of both previous series, I couldn't wait to read A Barefoot Tide. As much as I enjoyed the Emerald Isle and Cub Creek books, this new story seemed to touch me more deeply.At first I believed it may be because the character of Lilliane is slightly older, and that could be part of it. But looking back on the story I realize emotional connections I felt were made by the author describing someone falling in love with books and reading for the first time, as well as her personal connection to parts of the storyline.

Features & Highlights
- Grace Greene, USA Today Bestselling author, and author of Beach Rental, The Memory of Butterflies, and The Wildflower House Series, brings us A Barefoot Tide ~ a standalone novel set along the crystal coast of North Carolina, in the small town of Emerald Isle.
- From rural Virginia to coastal Carolina ~ Lilliane Moore leaves the forests and rolling hills of her rural Virginia hometown, Cub Creek, to accept a temporary job as a companion to an elderly man who lives at the beach. It’s a risky move that’s out of character for her, but her thirties are passing quickly—she feels like she's closing in on forty fast—plus she’s got a hole in her roof and no AC. The big payday she’s been promised for this short-term assignment will fix a lot of what’s wrong in her life. The job is at the beach in North Carolina, in a place called Emerald Isle at the end of the Outer Banks. She’s never seen the ocean before and she’d like to, but what's the catch? Because there’s always a catch, isn’t there?Taking a job in a home with someone she doesn’t know and so far from her own home may be a risk—but the biggest risk for Lilliane may be the unexpected—including leaving the home and hometown to which her heart and past are irrevocably tied, and to which she must return—no matter what happens while she’s away.
