Roseanna White stopped by the podcast this week to chat about her new book, Yesterday’s Tides. This wonderful dual-time novel is set on North Carolina’s Outer Banks and features storylines in both WWI and WWII. It’s such a great read and a fascinating look at the impact our lives have on the generations to come. We talk about the special place that the Outer Banks hold in Roseanna’s life, the beautiful jewelry she has for sale that’s inspired by the book, and my patrons get to hear what she would do if she found herself stranded on a deserted island with no books (oh, the horror LOL!)
Yesterday’s Tides by Roseanna White
In two world wars, intelligence and counterintelligence, prejudice, and self-sacrifice collide across two generations
In 1942, Evie Farrow is used to life on Ocracoke Island, where every day is the same–until the German U-boats haunting their waters begin to wreak havoc. And when special agent Sterling Bertrand is washed ashore at Evie’s inn, her life is turned upside down. While Sterling’s injuries keep him inn-bound for weeks, making him even more anxious about the SS officer he’s tracking, he becomes increasingly intrigued by Evie, who seems to be hiding secrets of her own.
Decades earlier, in 1914, Englishman Remington Culbreth arrives at the Ocracoke Inn for the summer, never expecting to fall in love with Louisa Adair, the innkeeper’s daughter. But when war breaks out in Europe, their relationship is put in jeopardy and may not survive what lies ahead for them.
As the ripples from the Great War rock Evie and Sterling’s lives in World War II, it seems yesterday’s tides may sweep them all into danger again today.
“Yesterday’s Tides has delicious romance, fascinating history, heart-pounding mystery, and wrenching family drama. . . . Please don’t miss this novel.”–SARAH SUNDIN, bestselling and award-winning author of The Sound of Light and Until Leaves Fall in Paris
“Yesterday’s Tides triumphs with raw and real emotion, pulse-pounding action, and romance that pays tribute to the legacy of yesterday to anchor the path of our tomorrows.”–KRISTY CAMBRON, Christy Award-winning author of The Paris Dressmaker
