The Shop in Sandy Bay

About the Book

“Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.” Which means (I looked it up) no one is angrier than a woman who has been rejected in love. This is a story about a small resort town shop owner, Rusty, whose husband died in a boating accident. While taking pictures for a calendar to sell in her shop, she met an elderly farmer, Max. Her friendship brought him out of his depression and gave him a renewed interest in life. (That is the good part.) Together Rusty and Max innocently stumbled onto a drug ring. (That is the bad part) This story has humor and dumb luck all the while showing you what life is like in a small town. In the end, Rusty gets her revenge. This is light reading. Some of it is inspired on tales told. Some of it isn’t.
