An emotional and unforgettable tale of a small town irrevocably affected by an unforeseen and shocking event—from the author of the “charming gem of a novel” (Elin Hilderbrand, #1 New York Times bestselling author) Mystic Summer.Wendell Combs is as local as they come. Born and raised in the small town of Saybrook, Connecticut, his venture into the larger world was met with heartbreak. Now, middle-aged and a confirmed bachelor, he seeks solitude from his tour of duty as a soldier back in his hometown, working as head caretaker for wealthy Alan Lancaster’s forty-acre estate, White Pines, a place he has come to love for its beauty, peace, and quiet. Alan’s eldest daughter, fifteen-year-old Julia, also loves White Pines, but for very different reasons. She and her little sister spend their days riding horses, swimming in the lake, and painting landscapes inspired by the property they adore. While her parents prepare to host their annual summer gala fundraiser, Julia’s eyes are set to the simpler joys of summer: she’s fallen in love with the boy-next-door and longs for their next encounter. But as the last guests leave on that magical summer night, a tragedy no one could have predicted suddenly occurs, shaking the entire town to its core. Wendell and Julia now face an uncertain future. At the height of their grief, two very different women return to Saybrook: Ginny Feldman, Wendell’s first love, who cannot stay away any longer, and Candace Lancaster, Julia’s estranged aunt who wants nothing to do with the town or the family estate she escaped decades earlier. Now, the only familiar things Julia has to cling to are Wendell and White Pines, but it looks like she’s about to lose both... With Hannah McKinnon’s “sharp and evocative” (Kirkus Reviews) prose, this stirring and affecting tale explores the connection between people and place and what, ultimately, makes up the fabric of a family.

Message in the Sand is one of those books that reminds you how families can be made anywhere with people who care. Wendell Combs went to war and came back a veteran with PTSD. He has been living his life alone with a lot of solitude and outdoor time to help squash the memories of war. He works on this lovely property called White Pines for the Lancasters and their two daughters Julia and Pippa. Unfortunately one night, the Lancasters' car goes off the road and Julia and Peppa are left without their parents. Their Aunt Candice comes from London to help take care of things as the executor of their parents will. However, there seems to be much more going on with Aunt Candace, but she certainly is not bonding with the girls. Meanwhile we meet Roberta or Bertie, a retired judge who is Wendell’s only family. We also meet Jenny Foster, a woman who was Wendell’s first love before he went to war. The story clearly revolves around the needs of Julia and Pippa to have a family. Julia is so determined not to go to London. She is angry that her horse is being sold and angry that she is not even being consulted about anything. (Those scenes are so true to form for a teenager.) Aunt Candice comes across as a very static character without the ability to grow or change.There is also this underlying issue about preserving the land and the importance of the wetlands. This book tugs at your heartstrings and reminds you how to be indignant for a teenager even when they're wrong. Message in the Sand makes you want to stand up and fight for what is right for Julia and Pippa. It makes you want to recognize that families are not always blood related. I found this book by Hannah McKinnon a good read. I would highly encourage others to read this book as it contains a little bit of everything: family, friends, love, protecting the environment, and hope for the future.
