Sail Away

Having read a number of Ashley Farley's books, I was looking forward to reading Sail Away. Wow, it was a powerful book about friendships and families, and sometimes families are those we choose and not those we are born into. Readers return to the beautiful setting of Palmetto Island and meet new characters among those we've seen before in the previous books of the Palmetto Island series--so good to catch up and see where their lives have taken them. Farley keeps the reader's attention as she reveals the characters' backgrounds and secrets layer by layer. She expertly tackles the hard places in life. She portrays well the impending tragedy and how these relatable and realistic characters rally to stand in the gap, to meet the needs, to comfort and encourage. I want these gals to be my friend!! Readers who love Southern fiction, and romance will not want to miss Sail Away. I can't wait to read more from this author. I read a complimentary copy of the ebook and was not required to write a review. The opinions are my own.
