(2025)
(The fourth book in the Stardust Beach series)
A novel by

 
 
Jude Majors has a problem and she knows it: her drinking has gotten out of hand. Being married to an astronaut and raising twin daughters on Stardust Beach is a dream come true, but for Jude, her life is an exercise of finding balance in her head and in her heart--and trying to reconcile the painful memories of her past...

Jude, whose mother is Japanese, was sent to live with her father in Los Angeles shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor, but being forced to hide a big part of who she is has left her feeling inadequate. Shunned. Alone. She's hidden so many facets of herself over the years that she isn't even sure what's left of her that anyone might like. Drinking to hide her pain and drown her sorrows has worked for Jude over the years--until it no longer does. She's fallen and hit her head, nearly drowned in the pool, and lately, she's feeling like a subpar wife and mother, and she knows those things can have disastrous and far-reaching implications.

Instead of giving into her own demons, Jude will make a change. She'll lean on the women she's met in Stardust Beach, and with friendship and love on her side, she'll find a way to accept herself and all the things she's always kept tucked away. With a little luck, Jude will find the starlight in the midst of her own dark night of the soul.


The women of Stardust Beach are strong and resilient, and they all want the same things: happiness, friendship, and love. As they support their husbands and raise their families in the shadow of Cape Kennedy, they share their love of sisterhood, they support one another through thick and thin, and they honor each other’s unique stories and personalities.

The Stardust Beach series will be eight books long and will have intertwining stories and characters, both sad and hopeful moments, beautiful friendships, romance, and plenty of laughter.
