Nettie’s Dream

When Nettie McPherson had a child at seventeen, her mother whisked her away to another state and the baby was adopted. Now, Nettie, a sixty-year-old widow, has returned to her hometown in Maine where she buys a lobster boat and becomes a tour boat captain. Her constant companion is Bo, a Chesapeake Bay Retriever she rescued from the local shelter. Nettie’s delighted to be back in New England and to reconnect with her childhood friend, Vi. But Nettie has never revealed her secret, not even to her best friend. After receiving a letter from an out-of-state lawyer whose client is someone from Nettie’s past, she is determined to follow through and agrees to meet with them in the search for her daughter. But how will she reveal this long-held secret to Vi … or to Cole, a land developer who arrives in Lobster Bay and captures Nettie’s heart?
