River Sawyer belonged to no one and nowhere. With those thoughts, she fled the only home she'd ever known in her grandmother's broken-down car. River hoped to make it to the ocean, but the vehicle had other ideas and gave its last shudder on a lonely, deserted road.

When a friendly couple picked her up and drove her to Crawdad Beach, River wasn't sure if she'd entered the twilight zone or paradise. There was no way people could be this kind. Or could they?

Sammie Banks stayed busy working at Doohickeys Hardware Store, taking online college courses, and helping his parents on their farm during his off hours. His life was basically full and satisfying. However, something was missing. Or maybe it was someone.
