Summer is here and if you are like me you are dreaming of days taking it easy at the beach, exploration, and adventure. So, with this in mind I picked up a copy of Cori Wamsley’s Braving the Shore novel and it was the perfect summer reading kick off for me. Cori is truly a champion of words as she uniquely unfolds the narrative of this book beautifully.
What I loved about this book:
If you love mystique, romance, and self-discovery by the seashore this intriguing story has all of that colorfully woven throughout. Once I picked up Cori’s book, I was totally involved in the lives of mirror image identical twin sisters, with plenty of twists and turns when one of them comes back to their coastal hometown for their 35th birthday celebration.
I was so intrigued by the story line I literally could not put this book down. The blend of past and present, family and friends, beach and bakery all melded into a sensory delight for me that leaped off the pages.
I truly believe that life unfolds our destinies before us and sometimes gifts are wrapped in tragedies that change our lives for the better in ways we could not possibly imagine, which Braving the Shore narrates so exquisitely.
Cori also facilitates retreats. I had the pleasure of attending one in April of 2023 and I am looking forward to attending her Forest and Flowers Writers Retreat in beautiful Portersville Pennsylvania in September 2023. Cori is near and dear to me because she is also my publisher. My book 20 lives Ignited is a best seller that came out in September of 2022 and another will be coming out in fall of 2023.
Cori has 18 years’ experience as a professional writer and editor, including 10 years with the Department of Energy and the FBI and four years as the executive editor of Inspiring Lives Magazine. She also wrote eight fiction books, including the children’s book Monkey Mermaid Magic, which she co-authored with her daughter London and illustrated. She contributed chapters to the anthologies Twenty Won and Living Kindly. Her newest book, Braving the Shore, was published in June of 2022.
