Before the Tide Turns: Different minds, the Same Tide

By Vikki Cunningham

On the North Norfolk coast, the countdown has begun.
Ellie and Leo have twenty-two weeks until their wedding at Clifftop Barn: a flint barn on the cliffs above the North Sea, with old beams, sea light and a view all the way to Wells. Their families are thrilled. Their friends are on the case. And almost everyone is hiding something.
Ellie is quietly carrying an IVF journey that is costing her more than she'll admit. Her best friend Priya has spent ten years making sure no one notices how hard reading is for her. Tom, the builder everyone calls when something's broken, has never been able to explain why his own mind feels like a radio stuck between stations. Leo's sister Maya is running late for her own life. And Rafe, whose estate is hosting the wedding, has a barn to get licensed against the clock, and a form he cannot face alone.
Week by week, through storms, setbacks and one very determined puppy, these friends start to see themselves, and each other, more clearly.
Before the Tide Turns is a warm, funny, big-hearted ensemble romance about love, family, and the people who learn they were never broken, just wired differently.
Salt & Light: different minds, the same tide.
