Message in the Tides

A message in a bottle. A shell necklace. A past that refuses to stay buried.

When Noelle finds an old bottle washed ashore on Orcas Island, she never expects it to unlock a mystery that will change her life. Robbed of her sharp mind after a tragic accident, she struggles with frustration, panic attacks, and the feeling that she's lost a part of herself. But the cryptic message she discovers sends her on a journey into the past—one tied to her reclusive uncle, George, a man once known as "The Pirate."

George has spent decades drowning in regret, his only companion the ghosts of a love he lost and secrets too painful to share. But when Noelle starts digging into his past, the walls he built begin to crumble. As old wounds resurface, they realize the truth has been waiting in the tides all along.

With the help of a runaway girl and a mysterious photographer, uncle and niece set out to piece together the fragments of love, loss, and redemption before time washes them away forever.
