On James Island, secrets rise with the tide.
For years, Jade, Penn, and Emerson have carried the weight of the past together - bound not by blood, but by sisterhood forged through heartbreak, survival, and the shared history that won't let go. They understand the value of loyalty and the cost of deception.
Along the shifting sand, though, the truth moves like waves, arriving, receding, and reshaping all it touches.
Emerson has spent years searching for where she belongs, hiding the wreckage of abandonment and unanswered questions. Always the outsider, she is desperate for inclusion and unconditional love. Under the weight of Southern expectations and self-imposed isolation, her facade begins to unravel, her enigmatic past exposing her vulnerability. Her confessions could cost her the family she's finally found and the life she thought was hers to claim.
Agnes has spent decades protecting painful secrets, convinced silence was the only way to keep the women she loves safe. But as the past collides with the present, she must decide. Risk losing the fragile peace she's built and her chosen family she's devoted to protecting, or trust that sharing the truth might finally set her free.
Rich with emotion, resilience, and the unbreakable strength of women, Chasing the Changing Tides is the powerful conclusion to the James Island Trilogy, a story of reckoning and forgiveness, a saga about the women who shape us, the secrets that haunt us, and the love that remains long after the tide recedes.
