Bald Head Island

Leslie Staton has lived her life building walls and burning bridges. The lies she has believed about herself have ultimately led her to the crossroads of life or death. Her second and final attempt at marriage has resulted in another failure, filled with abuse and betrayal. The mask she has worn out of pride has led to relinquishing her own identity to make everyone else happy. Exhausted by wearing all the masks required to hide the truth and appear to have a happy life, she makes a decision. She will go to the one place where she felt a connection—that gave her hope—to find herself or end her life. Packing only enough for the two weeks she has booked at Simpatico South, she takes the bottle of sleeping pills that she feels will finally free her of the pain and heartache she has endured throughout her entire life.

What she discovers is that she is not alone. Through a myriad of divine connections, Leslie encounters a love that she had never been capable of receiving and a long-lost friend that helps her see that life is more than an existence and so worth the journey.
