Rip Tide - Paperback

by Elena Graf (Author)

"You never know when you're going to say the wrong thing that will make someone hate you forever. It's like a rip tide. You can't even see it from the surface. Then you step into it, and the next thing you know, you're drowning." - Liz Stolz

A small town in Maine has begun to recover from a school shooting when another mass shooting and divisive politics threaten to divide friends and end relationships. Town doctor Liz Stolz and Episcopal rector Lucy Bartlett, used to bringing people together, find their own alliances threatened. These two healers are used to binding up the wounds of others, but in this book they are hurt by the unintended consequences of their actions. Rip Tide is about how well-meaning people can alienate their best friends just by wondering aloud or asking questions.
