Valerie, the mature, energetic, and resourceful heroine of Love Gone Sideways, has been gifted with a brand-new home and a lifestyle she'd never dared to dream about: a beautiful beachfront home in the Florida Keys. Determined to leave behind the challenges and heartaches she'd experienced in her past, she set about making new inroads for herself in what had been a vacation paradise for her and her family: her daughter, her son-in-law, and her grandson. They are all far away now, Jake in college on the west coast and Lila and Jimmy in South America. It's only Valerie now, trying her best to embrace the challenge of crafting a meaningful new life, far away from everything and everyone she's ever known. It didn't take long for that old adage about it being a small world to ring true. A ghost or two from Valerie's past appeared, as did the promise of a few new adventures, none of which turned out quite as she'd imagined. After all she'd gone through in her life, she was quite sure the resilience that had served her well in her past would help her navigate any and all new challenges. But would it? Could she ever find secure footing again, after these encounters that would wreak havoc with her kind and open heart? What or who could make her feel comfortable and at ease in her exquisite new surroundings? Had a few mystical experiences given her guidance and hope, or was it all coming from within herself? Only time would tell.
