PL Casler Clark began her life along the salty edge of Florida. That's where she learned the value of a good family, a good neighbor, a good climbing tree, and a good bit of water to explore. She has moved up and down the peninsula as education, work, and life adventures have called her, and each location has revealed its own set of treasures. She loves living in the Sunshine State with her family and is still learning how to coexist with hurricanes. She presents this, her first book, to anyone who might benefit from seeing one possible path away from grief.

Overview
A hurricane destroys the house where, years ago, a child's carefree family life changed forever. Good riddance? Hold on, not so fast.
Description
A little girl must move to a new home when her parents' marriage ends. She makes the best of her circumstances, even finding wonderful people, adventures, laughter, and real happiness along the way. But she never truly grieves the breakup of her family nor the subsequent distress she endured. So through the years, a nagging sadness begins to beg her for acknowledgement. Now an adult, she still refuses to examine that pain until her hand is forced by Hurricane Michael. The storm wrecks the little house she lived in and adored before the divorce, and now she must face what its destruction means to her. Personified wind, sun, water, moon, and earth bend time to weave bits of her childhood together with pieces of her adult life to show her their support -- she'll need it as she questions the hurricane and the house itself about how to cope with her sadness. In the end, she understands the magnificent role the storm played in her journey through the grief she desperately needed to feel. And now that she can see clearer, her damaged house shows her how to move on.
