The Gull Island Series: Book 3
Simplicity by the Sea
Can a coastal spark uncork the future—or will old dreams anchor them in the past?
"This is Vido’s third entry in her Gull Island series, and her simple, conversational prose deftly captures the evocative atmospherics of life on the small, Lowcountry island off the coast of South Carolina—the salty sea breezes, the old lighthouse, Southern comfort food, the few sun-basking alligators."—Kirkus Reviews
