Patterns in the Sand — Sue Mayfield

Tony is slowly coming to terms with his mother's death but he still feels alone and very angry. He can't understand how his father can get his life back together so quickly. His moody behavior creates difficulties with his girlfriend and he and his best friend seem to be growing apart. Then meeting a group of summer visitors helps him to put things in perspective and brings new hope and happiness. This sensitively written and uplifting sequel to On Eagles' Wings works equally well as a stand-alone title. First published as A Time to be Born.
