Resilience has brought Larissa Whitcomb a long way toward surviving recent losses of those closest to her. "I'm emotionally bankrupt," she admits in the aftermath of her tragedies. And she still needs to get through holidays while grieving. Yet, somehow, gradually, she yearns for more. It is time to be grateful for each day, reframe her grief, and to expend energy in new directions. When she discovers old letters and postcards amongst her mother's belongings, she is encouraged by beloved family and friends to follow the written trail from the past to a picturesque beach house on Hutchinson Island, Florida. The journey to a new place, mixed with memories of the past, is also Larissa's emotional journey to restore what she can, while honoring what is lost.
Once settled in new surroundings, Larissa is enchanted and energized by signs from loved ones. Her walks beside the ocean and river, fill her with wonderment at the messages and treasures that emerge from the water. As she processes shifting emotions, Larissa is driven by an instinctive, unwavering commitment to continue the search for the son she reluctantly surrendered for adoption. The undulating waves of the water mimic her waves of grief and offer waves of hope and restoration.
Unexpected connections from the past offer the possibility of new relationships, expanding the circle of her loved ones who have not left. Can the natural surroundings inspire her with the wisdom and insight to live life to the fullest, regardless of what she has lost-and what she might find?
While Wonders in the Waves is a stand-alone story of relationships lost and found, readers who cried and smiled along with Larissa in Comfort in the Wings, the author's debut novel, are invited along for another journey of hopefulness after grief, finding joy in everyday wonders, and honoring love that endures, that does not die.
