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. Yet, gradually, she yearns for more. To move from surviving to thriving, she reframes her grief and seeks new directions. Encouraged by family and friends, a trail of letters and old postcards lead her to a picturesque beach house on Hutchinson, Island, Florida. Walks beside the ocean and river fill Larissa 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 search for the son she reluctantly surrendered for adoption. Can the natural surroundings bring her the wisdom and insight to live life to the fullest, regardless of what she has lost—and what she might find?
