This Friday I've started the following book:
by Salina B. Baker
Synopsis:
In the summer of 1869, beleaguered for-hire killer Zach Dimitru arrives in Eastport, Maine, bearing an amulet and searching for absolution. His salvation is dependent on the Benoit Family, who are also pitiless and tormented. Zach's deliverance is reliant on Juliette Benoit. The young woman is grieving the loss of her soul mate, whom she believes has reincarnated without her. Miraculously, the amulet imparts messages to Juliette. The fate of both Zach and Juliette, as well as the town, depends upon her ability to learn and convey those lessons before the arrival of a hurricane--one with the force to devastate Eastport.
Book Beginning:
Prologue:
Shelby Rolle's hands shook as he threw his fishing net into the blue water.
Chapter one:
The storm pummeling Eastport, Maine moaned in sympathy as Helen Vickers struggled to give birth.
Children born during a storm tend to be strong ones. I hope this baby will be healthy.
The Friday 56:
The amulet was her secret – her precious companion. She believed that its murmurings were an exclusive part of her psyche. Sissy's calim to hear the amulet felt like a betrayal.
Ahh, the mysterious amulet. I'm curious what 'murmurings' mean here. Do they hear what the amulet 'says' in their head? We'll see...
