“Don’t waste time, Kimberly. Time is something we all think we’ve got in abundance until suddenly the clock stops ticking. Don’t waste a single minute of your life…”
There is magic along the marshes in Cedar Key, Florida. Kimberly Tucker may just need reminding. Author Eva Marie Everson takes readers to the beautiful Gulf Coast of Florida in Chasing Sunsets (ISBN: 978-0-8007-3436-7, June 2011, 384 pages, $14.99). Time stands still on this tiny island as visitors and residents admire the beautiful sunrises and sunsets and the friendly smiling faces. But Kimberly struggles with the secrets of her past that seem to be locked away in Cedar Key.
Wondering what went wrong with her marriage and realizing the dreams for their future would not come true, Kimberly resents her former husband for moving on with his life. When a judge orders her sons to spend five weeks of summer vacation with their father, Kimberly’s father suggests a respite in the family vacation home on Cedar Key Island. As Kim revisits her childhood memories and former loves, she soon discovers that treasures in life are often buried, and mistakes–both past and present–become redeemable in God’s hand.
Walk alongside Kimberly in Chasing Sunsets as she discovers that God’s answers may not come easily, but they do come.
ISLAND BREEZES
I really don’t like the way this book ended. It’s too soon. I’m not done reading about these people and Cedar Key. In fact, I’m thinking about getting in my car and finding Cedar Key. Surely it’s no too far from my island.
I like the way this book protruded back and forth between then and now.
And I liked the way Boo learned to deal with her pain – pain that stayed with her from her teen days right on into adulthood.
I want to know more about her life and that of her friend, Patsy, and her family. Just saying. Waiting for the next book Eva Marie Everson.

[…] In the beginning of this book, it felt as if I’d already read it. Actually, it was a teaser at the end of Chasing Sunsets. […]
