Sixteenth Summer

Sarah Bowers and her family return to Beaufort during Sarah’s sixteenth summer. She is looking forward to dates with a young fellow she met briefly the summer before. Evenings together and sailing aboard the Willa with Bruce McCoy add to her happy days of summer fun. All is well until a visitor from Ohio comes to town. All thoughts of Bruce vanish. Sadly, when the visitor leaves, Sarah finds herself spending lonely evenings on the shelf.
Seeking answers to her dilemma, Sarah turns to her dear friend, Capt. Jake, whose wisdom and advice help her learn one of life’s valuable lessons.
