Hank Rick Burnham

Jennifer Johnson McCarthy has a stubborn streak a mile wide, and it puts into motion a series of events that will change her life forever. A spat with her husband on the beach in Destin, Florida. A near drowning. And a chance encounter with Hank--a mysterious old man with a story to tell. Jennifer finds herself pulled back to the town of Oak Springs. What is it about Hank's stories and the town that fascinate her so?







Her husband and Granny Ev are determined she should not hear the old man's tales. Now, with her marriage falling apart and everyone second-guessing her every move, Jennifer has a choice to make. Return to her overbearing husband and resume a life of privilege or start anew.







The future awaits. But so does the past.
