The Beach Baby

Charlene Wilson is in over her head.
Isle of Palms is supposed to be her little slice of paradise—and for a while, it was. She and her husband, Davy, had a successful house flipping business, a happy family, a bright future.
Then it all changed.
Davy passed away too soon and left her with massive medical bills.
The house Charlene is trying to flip can’t find any buyers and she’s running out of money.
And her troubled daughter hasn’t been seen in more than five years.
Add to that her younger sister coming back to the Isle of Palms unexpectedly for the first time in a decade, and Charlene is feeling more overwhelmed than ever.

She uses her 45th birthday wish to hope that, just once, things will end up okay.
Then she walks outside…
And finds a baby on her doorstep.

There’s a note, too. It says,
Dear Mom: His name is Tyler.
I can’t keep him.
Look after him for me.
And suddenly, all of Charlene’s other problems don’t seem so important after all.
