Sand Dollar is rapidly proving to be very popular here in
Key West and across the country. It speaks to emotions and
ideas that are common to us all, regardless of our location or
time period. Men and women enjoy it equally.

Sand Dollar’s basis is historical - Key West in the mid-1800's.
The story is pure imagination. It tells about Mary Thorne who,
bored by conventional life on Green Turtle Cay, yearns for
independence, travel, and adventure. She reluctantly agrees
to marry Richard Randall, a wrecker, thinking she will spend
the rest of her life avoiding the church bazaars her sister dotes on. Less than a year after Mary’s wedding, a
massive hurricane brushes the Bahamas and devastates Key West. Mary moves with her house and her
husband to Key West, ambitious for expanded opportunities. But travel takes her far from the security of
home. Adventure involves danger. And independence involves demanding situations and hard decisions.

I know you’ll enjoy the book. You can buy it from the publisher at outskirtspress.com, on amazon.com or

Sand Dollar will soon be a readers’ group favorite and I’ve created discussion questions that I know you’ll
enjoy when you read the book with your friends.
