The Sandpiper

The Sandpiper deals with what is messy and real in a relationship and how the little things can pile up, especially after dealing with the personal loss and scrutiny of a miscarriage. A fictionalized version of a Modern Love podcast, The Sandpiper is a complicated love story with a new twist on a happy ending, where the 34 year old Carly’s self-discovery—rather than her relationships with current and past love interests— leads her to renewal and a been-through-the-fire sense of strength. The Sandpiper is an 85,000 word novel that deals with how the past haunts the present and how social media can and does exacerbate this.
