Praise for The Wishing Tide Everything I love in a novel: a coastal setting so rich you can practically taste the salt in the air and feel the sand under foot, an old inn, and a deeply-felt and explored love story with a smart, relatable heroine and a handsome hero with a mysterious past. Atmospheric, suspenseful and very romantic, The Wishing Tide is elegant and haunting proof that secrets buried in the heart will always rise to the surface. --Erika Marks, author of It Comes in Waves A captivating read about fighting for the life you want and daring to believe that happily-ever-after can exist outside of fairytales. Set on a desolate, storm-tossed North Carolina barrier island lush with family secrets, madness, and ghost stories, this lyrical novel will haunt you from the first page to the last. --Barbara Claypole White award-winning author of The In-Between Hour Beautiful and haunting....Filled with wonderful descriptions of North Carolina's Outer Banks, The Wishing Tide is a book about love and loss and finding your way forward. I could not read it fast enough! --Anita Hughes, author of Lake Como Praise for The Secrets She Carried A poignant, mysterious and heartfelt story. --Diane Chamberlain, author of Necessary Lies Davis paints a picture of two eras and beautifully flawed characters with evocative and caring words. --Susan Crandall, author of Whistling Past the Graveyard This beautifully written novel tells a tale of epic romance, one that lasts through the decades and centuries....It's a beautiful story, and Davis does an amazing job telling it. -- Romantic Times, 4 1/2 stars
