I grew up just north of Charlotte, NC in a lake community. Weekends were spent on the water in one way or another. North Carolina and South Carolina are full of beaches.  There is something powerful and majestic about big bodies of water, this is why in my first attempt at writing a fictional story takes place in a beach town. Life has not been easy but it has not been the worst and you can see some of the layers of my childhood in this story. I hope you enjoy the lighthearted and twisty read that is, One Barefoot at a Time.
