Because there's always a catch, isn't there?

Taking a job in a home with someone she doesn't know and so far from her own home may be a risk-but the biggest risk for Lilliane may be the unexpected-including leaving the home and hometown to which her heart and past are irrevocably tied, and to which she must return-no matter what happens while she's away.

Review Quotes

"The best novels make you feel as if you've been swept away into another world. Grace Greene's newest is such a book. Beautifully written, with relatable characters, and a place so perfectly depicted I felt as if I'd made a trip to the beach, A Barefoot Tide is a balm for the soul. I loved reading this novel and it's a safe bet you will too." - Karen McQuestion, author of Half a Heart

"A Barefoot Tide by Grace Greene is a touching story of finding the beauty in life, despite the trials and tragedies life has put in the way.Author Grace Greene has a talent for writing heart warming stories of individuals overcoming adversity - and doing so with patience and grace - when many others would take a much different route. I highly recommend A Barefoot Tide (and sure do hope it won't be the end of this crossover story ) I easily give this book ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐, but would give ❤❤❤❤❤ if it were an option." - CindyLovesBooks.com

"Sometimes All It Takes Is A Break. This was a remarkable tale of a woman who was down on her luck being given a chance... Lilliane's story was a great crossover between Greene's mountain based Cub Creek series and beach based Emerald Isle series, one full of heart and... well, grace.: D ... Very much recommended." - Jeff Sexton BookAnon.com

"I have thoroughly enjoyed all of Grace Greene's novels that I have been privileged to read, but nothing prepared me for A Barefoot Tide. The raw emotions so eloquently painted on the pages of this book bare the two main characters' souls, evoking a depth of empathy from the reader not often encountered. It isn't often a book effects me like this one did, and when one does the sensation is special indeed." - Christian Fiction and More (.blogspot.com)
