Swimming Lessons by Mary Alice Monroe

Toy Sooner has dealt with enough rough waves in her troubled past. It's only been through the enduring love of a close–knit group of women on this tiny island that she's finally started to find her footing. But as new challenges in her career arise for this young single mother, the choices and demons of her past will catch up to her. Soon Toy will learn that, like the steadfast sea turtles she cares for, a mother must find the strength within herself to make it safely to shore.
