The Waves at My Window - Paperback

Maris lives on a beautiful, remote island where she has been welcomed lovingly by the open arms of the community that could easily be called home. Except that it isn't home; but Maris doesn't know where home is.

Having experienced a rocky sea journey, she now suffers from a severe case of amnesia. She remembers nothing prior to the year she has spent on this island.

Hopelessness about her memory is beginning to set in when a mysterious paddler appears on the island and claims she's the lost heir of a small nearby nation under tyrannical rule. He's desperate to bring her back to save the country, but her best friend is increasingly skeptical of the paddler's intentions. She finds herself torn not only between her search for her identity and her love of her new home, but also between the guy who might have all the answers she needs and the guy who gave her a name when she didn't have one.

Maris finds herself doubting everything she thought she knew--which isn't much--and worrying about what might be true--which seems unlikely. Should she choose to stay within the safety of the island in anonymity, or should she take a risk that she might be someone truly noteworthy?
