About Distant Shores
Elizabeth and Jackson Shore married young, raised two daughters and built a life together, but once their children leave home the distance between them becomes impossible to ignore. After Elizabeth’s father dies, she retreats to an isolated beach house and discovers a story of enduring devotion in her parents’ past. The discovery forces her to question her own marriage and risk everything for a second chance at happiness.
