Finding Hope in Starshine Cove by Debbie Johnson

A heartwarming story of friendship, new beginnings, and second chances that will have you reaching for the tissues

Lucy Brown has spent years hiding from the world, as far away as she could get from her old life - and her ex-husband - back in London. But when she reluctantly agrees to leave her safe haven to attend her old friend Ella's wedding in Starshine Cove, little does she know what's in store for her down in Dorset...

When a chance airport encounter with a handsome stranger unexpectedly leads to a deeper connection, Lucy finds her trip becoming much more than just a last-minute holiday. But then her dark past comes knocking, just as she always feared it would. Will the magic of Starshine Cove be enough to heal the hurts that Lucy has carried with her all these years, or has this one-of-a-kind village by the sea finally met its match?

Debbie Johnson is passionate about making a difference in people's lives. She created DenverWorks in 1995 to help unemployed people in her city. She served as the organization's Executive Director for eleven years before leaving to become the Vice President of Programs at Dalit Liberation Network and later the Executive Director of India Transformed. After seven travels to India's slums, she finally saw the Taj Mahal. Debbie grew raised in Little Rock, Arkansas, and returned to DenverWorks in 2015.

She graduated from Ouachita Baptist University with a master's degree in music education, which has little to do with her social work save that Beethoven and jazz ensembles are excellent for the soul. Her husband and she live on a farm in the Rockies Mountains. Debbie enjoys harvesting vegetables from their garden and cooking traditional Southern dishes for her family and guests.
