Reeling from the sudden breakup of her disastrous marriage, Meredith barely escapes a freak accident in Alaska and is presumed dead. She stumbles into a new identity and a new life in a quirky small town. As new friendships grow, Meredith has to learn to trust in herself again.
When a romance with a local fisherman unexpectedly blossoms, Meredith’s secret jeopardizes her hopes for future happiness. And someone is searching for her, someone who will threaten Meredith’s 
dream of a reinvented life.

My Review: For a short story this book packs a lot of detail in all of the right ways! I completely enjoyed the characters Meredith goes through some pretty some life altering moments but in the end comes out stronger and better for it I felt. This is a great story with a very interesting plot. The scenes in Compass North are very well written and gives the reader more of a  realistic view. I enjoyed the book I just wish there was ore of it. I hope to read more from author Stephanie Joyce Cole.
4/5
