But inside, Maya knows Katrina gave her the gift of a fresh start. She and her yellow lab, Doodle Bug, leave the destruction of the Gulf Coast for North Carolina and settle in Oriental, a quaint fishing village on the Pamlico Sound.In her new home by the water, Maya begins to rebuild her life. She knows she needs to heal from her abusive marriage and the trauma of Hurricane Katrina, but isn?t sure where to start. It isn?t long before teachers appear to help her: Hazel, her elderly but spirited neighbor who has secrets of her own; Travis, a handsome kayak guide to whom she immediately feels a strong attraction; Buster, a crusty old fisherman who always seems to show up just when she needs him; and Bay Witherspoon, the much younger wife of a wealthy attorney who becomes a close friend despite their initial differences. Maya finds the most profound help when she is welcomed into a women?s circle that meets on the banks of Hungry Mother Creek. Gathered with these women, Maya learns that becoming vulnerable and sharing her pain with others is the first step of her healing journey." -- Back cover. 541 |3Joyner-Roberts Collection copy |cGift ofMargaret Bauer 650 0 Self-actualization (Psychology) in women |vFiction. |=^A1057842 651 0 Oriental (N.C.) |vFiction. |=^A230136 651 0 North Carolina |vFiction. |=^A459682 651 7 North Carolina |zOriental. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01229620 |?UNAUTHORIZED 655 7 Fiction. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01423787 949 PS3603.O24 H86 2014 |hJOYNER88 |ojdjr |i30372017318046 994 C0 |bERE 590 Joyner-Roberts Collection copy autographed on title page "Heather W.
