Waiting for Sunrise
Book 2 of the Cedar Key series
390 pages · First published 2012
Patsy Milstrap travels to Cedar Key, Florida, hoping distance and the island’s quiet beauty will help her heal from pressures in the present and wounds rooted in her past. Instead, she discovers that the history she hoped to escape has followed her into the place she chose as refuge. Family relationships and memories of young love force Patsy to confront experiences she has spent years managing rather than resolving. Eva Marie Everson’s second Cedar Key novel blends Southern atmosphere, faith, family drama, and forgiveness in a story about discovering that sunrise comes only after facing what the night has hidden.
