*** Braving the Shore won the 2023 Author Zone Award for Excellence in Fiction. ***
5 Stars!
I had planned on reading just a few chapters each night to unwind before bed. Then once I started reading, I was so intrigued by the storyline that I couldn't put it down. I loved the detail and emotion of the bond between sisters that could survive time and space. Cori is a true master of words and this novel drew me in to the storyline. I suggest everyone put Braving the Shore on their reading list! You won't regret it.
