From the moment Mitchell "Mitch" Brody silenced Jessica Ramirez's bully in grade school, the two were inseparable. They spent years planning their ideal life together. Then 9/11 tore them apart. Mitch joined the Marine Corps, and nothing would ever be the same.
Like Driftwood on the Salish Sea is the story of two people torn apart by things outside of their control. In this engaging, complex, and masterfully told novel, the reader travels through present and past times as Mitch and Jessica's story unfolds, slowly, carefully, like diving into a letter from a distant relative that reveals secrets, truths, and long-held feelings. Mitch has avoided everyone and everything he once held dear as he struggles with PTSD from his strict upbringing and time in Iraq. Jess never gave up hope in what they had, which makes this story so touching.
If you are looking for a typical romance--boy meets girl, they fall in love, they live happily ever after--you will not find it here. What you will find is a romance that touches every bit of who we are, how family dynamics play out, how idyllic life in a small town can be a blessing and a curse--especially when you are pulled out of it into something emotionally charged and devastating, and how love can survive against it all. You will need an entire box of tissues to make it through this one.

I purchased a copy of this novel from Amazon. This review contains my honest opinions, which I have not been compensated for in any way.
