Trails in the Sand
Florida Fiction
Written by P.C. Zick
Genre: Poltical Saga
When environmental writer Caroline Carlisle sets off to report on endangered sea turtles during the BP's oil spill, the last thing she expects is to uncover secrets - secrets that threaten to destroy her family, unless she can heal the hurts from a lifetime of lies. To make matters worse, Caroline's love for her late sister's husband, Simon, creates an uproar in a southern family already set on a collision course with its past.
From Caroline's sister: "My sister is nothing more than a common whore," Amy said when Simon told her he was leaving her. "You just have to face it and get over some childhood notion about her being your soul mate."
On BP's oil spill: "Two weeks after the Deepwater Horizon explosion, dead sea turtles began washing up on the beaches near Pass Christian, Mississippi. Beach walkers discovered the stranded animals on sand darkened by the blood seeping from the turtles' nostrils and underbelly."
Using BP oil spill timeline and facts as the backdrop, Trails in the Sand explores the fight to restore balance and peace, in nature and in a family, as both spiral toward disaster.

Fans are saying
This story is unique, filled with a mixture of an amazing story line about a very complex family and it's survival through some very trying times.
It's also a learning experience about things so many of us don't take the time to think about after some of our natural disasters leave our internet/newspaper and televisions as the #1 topic of the day.
It leaves you thinking about what you can do to create change in our world and in our life. This author combines both in a phenomenal way.
A Big Thumbs UP!! Congratulations to wonderful storyteller!!

A Big Thumbs UP!! Congratulations to wonderful storyteller!!
PC Zick artfully weaves a tapestry blending the 2010 tragic events of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and the West Virginia coal mine explosion with a story of lost love recaptured and family secrets gradually revealed.
Ms. Zick worked as a public information specialist for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission during the oil spill and she accurately captures the mood, urgency, and fear of those events with a wonderful Hiaasen-like sense of humor mixed in.
Intertwined is a tale of love and family, the vegetable garden, and the secrets that threaten to tear the family apart but ultimately makes them stronger.
It is a story that brings you in because just about everyone with a family can relate to it. This is a book you won't be able to put down. Buy it and enjoy the mastery of PC Zick!
