Where The Tides Begin

In a heartfelt coming-of-age collection where the ocean meets the unexpected, three young women navigate identity, dreams, and first love with tides all their own. Liliana, a passionate Marine Biology freshman, never expected a wrong turn into the men’s bathroom to spark a connection with a charming, infuriating boy named Noah. Which just might be fate’s oddest gift. Her younger sister Londyn watches from afar, growing up with wonder and worry, learning that strength often blooms in the spaces left behind. In poetic reflections from The Crashing Shores, the sea becomes a sacred mirror that echoes the power, resilience, and quiet courage. In Tides of Her Own, Maya’s journey from business student to celebrated marine scientist proves that some dreams are worth defying everything for. With romance, sisterhood, salt air, and the pull of the unknown, these stories explore what it means to follow your heart. Even when it leads you into deep, unknown waters. For anyone who’s ever felt the ocean calling, this is a tribute to soul tides, and the beautifully messy beginnings we find when we least expect them.
