Between the Sound and Sea by Amanda CoxMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
Rating 4.5
“The best gifts are the ones you can share with someone, you know.”
Between the Sound and Sea was another beautifully penned story by Amanda Cox.
That fear made me do a little soul searching. You made me see that I hadn’t healed like I thought I had. I’d just shut parts of myself down and locked them away.
The story takes us along the journey of Walt, who after living a full life filled with love, still must deal with regrets, which includes a childhood friend. Through the restoration of the lighthouse, the characters also go through a journey of healing and reconciliation.
Or maybe there would be some regret, but they’d both come far enough along to realize that any regrets that might come along the way provided an opportunity to grow.
The mystery around what happened in the past kept me guessing and turning the pages to discover the answers.
The story left me with a feeling of hope from the beginning to the end.

About the book:
Every family has its secrets. Josephina Harris wouldn't mind if her family still had a few of their own after a lawsuit tarnishes their name. When an opportunity opens to become a temporary keeper of a decommissioned lighthouse on a North Carolina island, she jumps at the chance to escape her small town to oversee its restoration.
As the work begins, "Joey" discovers strange notes tucked deep in the crevices of the old stone walls--pages torn from a lighthouse keeper's log signed by someone named Mae who recounts harrowing rescues at sea. Fascinated by a woman lighthouse keeper, Joey digs into the past only to discover there's never been a record of a lighthouse keeper by that name.
When things start to go amiss on the island, locals are convinced that it is the ghost of the lighthouse keeper and his daughter who were lost at sea during World War II. As Joey sifts through decades of rumors and legends and puts together the pieces of the past, what emerges is a love story--one that's not over yet.
Multiple Christy Award winner Amanda Cox is your guide upon the raging seas of young love, heartbreaking loss, and learning to risk it all for a chance at happiness in this timeless novel.
