Overview
New York Times bestselling author
Shelley Noble takes her readers on another beach adventure where a young woman discovers
the power of family and forgiveness.
School teacher Julie Barlow and her two best friends, Beth
and Aggie, are looking forward to an adults only beach vacation. Julie also
plans to use the time to figure out why her perfectly planned life has gone
terribly amiss. They’ve barely hit the road when a frantic call from Julie’s
mother hijacks their best laid plans. Uncle Tony “Lucky” Costa is missing.
Always entertaining, often irresponsible, never reliable, Uncle Lucky was a
favorite with her friends. For Julie,
for whom he’d been a sometimes surrogate father, not so much.
Her mother wants them to take a “teeny” detour to look for
the irascible retired surfer. Julie makes excuses. After all, she was the one
who decided she never wanted to see Lucky again. Overruled in this as she is in
much of her life, Julie and her friends detour to Lucky’s latest scheme, Lucky’s Beach Bar and
Grill. They find it tucked away in a
quaint coastal town on the Delaware coast. With a crescent beach of white sand,
large waves, plenty of tanned young men, a lively night life, it’s a perfect
beach getaway.
Beth and Aggie see good times ahead, Julie is determined to
get through it as quickly as possible. But that will change as she gets to know
Lucky’s friends and confidantes. The taciturn bartender, the loyal housekeeper,
the local fortune teller, the whole town shares a determination to protect him.
But from what?
Soon Julie and her friends are swept up in an effort to save
the town's—and Lucky’s— most closely guarded secret. And Julie begins to see
her uncle in a new light.
Julie Barlow has a few things to learn about life—and
love—and sacrifice. Her lesson begins this summer at Lucky’s Beach.
