The days have settled into an easy rhythm on Colby Cameron's farm, where there is an age-old comfort in the pattern of the stars, and where the fish and turtles expect their treats at the same time every evening. With his life in a good place in his forty-seventh year, the flight instructor's looking forward to keeping things exactly as they are. Fate, however, seems to have other plans for Colby.A $65 million dollar jet making its way into the local airport is the first harbinger of change. On board is a letter that will force Colby to rethink everything he thought he knew about his family and his past. Were they what they seemed, his days growing up in a typical Georgia family, years marked by beach vacations and hunting with his dad? If he wants to find out, the answer is waiting for him on a small island in the Bahamas. In the meantime, much to Colby's shock, there's a baby on the way for him and his wife, Aubrey. Motherhood has always been a dream for Aubrey, but he has mixed emotions. A baby in their forties means a wildly different future than the restful days and travel that had seemed to stretch out quietly before them in their middle age. Most importantly, he fears for Aubrey, whose age could mean complications for this fragile, growing life she has wanted for so long. With both his future and his past taking on new shapes, Colby aims his Cessna 182 for the turquoise waters, fishing boats, and sumptuous yachts of the Bahamas. There, more surprises wait, and it's possible not everyone has the best of motives.Against a backdrop of luxury and tropical adventure, Colby grapples with questions of family, second chances, and accepting with open arms the gifts life has to offer-even when those gifts take you by surprise.
