Story Behind The Book

Rising Tides is a love story about the choices we make knowing that while love may well be eternal, life isn't, at least not this life.

<span style="vertical-align:middle;"><strong>Sad but good</strong>, November 26, 2009</span><div style="margin-bottom:.5em;"></div> <div class="tiny" style="margin-bottom:.5em;"><strong><span class="h3color tiny">By Joanne Harris</span><span style="text-decoration:underline;"></span></strong> (Amazon Review)<br />This was a very gripping story of love in the face of something tragic. I found myself drawn in by the characters, and the story. I was drawn to the combination of love, loss and over coming life's challenges. I found myself sad then happy several times for the main character, and loved the ending. I enjoy a love story with a twist.  <span style="margin-right:5px;"><span class="swSprite s_star_5_0" title="5.0 out of 5 stars"><span></span></span></span><br /><br /><span style="vertical-align:middle;"><strong>A new favorite</strong></span><div style="margin-bottom:.5em;"></div><span class="crVerifiedStripe"><span class="tiny verifyWhatsThis"></span></span><strong><span class="h3color tiny"></span></strong><div class="tiny" style="margin-bottom:.5em;"></div><span style="font-weight:bold;">By  LT (Amazon Review)<br /></span>Rising Tides is a beautiful and heart wrenching love story that is worth every bit of 5 stars. As will all of Maria Hooley's novels, the story captivates you and is impossible to put down. For Kelly and Tyler love can conquer all. Keep the tissues nearby - they'll be needed. <br /></div>
