There’s a new jazz singer on Sandhill Island. Billie Stone, named for the late jazz great, Billie Holiday, has her own set of pipes. She grew up on Sandhill Island and has come back home to heal her psyche after a tragic accident took her family. Billie’s mother falls ill, and now, she has a new role as caregiver. Once again, her mental health takes a back seat.Joe Franks, drunk and on the wrong side of the road late one night, crashes into the minivan that came out of nowhere. But after a year in jail and penniless, he thinks he deserves another chance. No one will hire a jail bird, and he’s not cut out for pizza delivery.
Just when Billie seems to be on the cusp of healing—and finding a new love—Franks’ rage spirals out of control. Have Billie’s losses made her strong enough to overcome once more, or will this final disaster be her undoing?

Sandhill Island is an Island where everyone knows each other. Its small and everyone that lives there is like family and the tourists keep coming back for its charm and if your not careful you may never want to leave. This happens to Neil and IT man that has had his own heartache and hurt and understands what Billie is dealing with.
There are so many fabulous characters in this book. Even the stray dog is a character in her own right. I did think she was going to have more of an important part the way she was played up and was a bit disappointed. However, she was very charming.
The story is about love and healing. It does have a bit of suspense tossed in and the little bit of sex is off the page and sweet.
