Taking place on the Northwest coast of Florida, Tears of Sand is a twisting and turning story of love and hope with a twist of Southern humor thrown in.

Estranged from her father and left with the task of taking care of her alcoholic, sex-addicted mother, Plata Hartman has a conflicted and confusing life, robbing her of a normal childhood and leaving her unsure of where she fits in.

Finally finding love, Plata marries Jeremy. Her happiness is short-lived. A heart-wrenching tragedy strikes, showing her that the course of one's life can change in a split second - as fast as a bolt of lightning. In her search to come to terms with this devastating event, life-altering secrets unfold, and Plata finds herself returning to her past on a dangerous, spine-chilling journey to rescue, and perhaps kidnap, a child.
