Between The Sound And Sea by Amanda Cox was a big hit with my book club. I especially liked how the author explored past regrets and the actions we take to make things right. The Outer Banks setting and the WWII connection were also big pluses. So if you liked this book too, here are a few more books to read.
All Manner of Things by Susie Finkbeiner
When Annie Jacobson’s brother Mike enlists as a medic in the Army in 1967, he hands her a piece of paper with the address of their long-estranged father. If anything should happen to him in Vietnam, Mike says, Annie must let their father know.
In Mike’s absence, their father returns to face tragedy at home, adding an extra measure of complication to an already tense time. As they work toward healing and pray fervently for Mike’s safety overseas, letter by letter the Jacobsons must find a way to pull together as a family, regardless of past hurts. In the tumult of this time, Annie and her family grapple with the tension of holding both hope and grief in the same hand, even as they learn to turn to the One who binds the wounds of the brokenhearted.
Author Susie Finkbeiner invites you into the Jacobson family’s home and hearts during a time in which the chaos of the outside world touched their small community in ways they never imagined.
By Way of The Moonlight by Elizabeth Musser
Two courageous young women, tied together by blood and shared passion, will risk everything to save what they love most.
For as long as she can remember, Allie Massey, a gifted physical therapist, has dreamed of making her grandparents’ ten-acre estate into a trauma recovery center using equine therapy–a dream her grandmother, Nana Dale, embraced wholeheartedly.

Decades earlier, headstrong Dale Butler’s driving passion is to bring home the prized filly her family lost to the Great Depression, but with World War II looming, she’s called upon in ways she never could have imagined. And while her world expands to include new friends and new love, tragedy strikes close to home one fateful night during the Battle of the Atlantic, changing her life forever.
As Nana Dale’s past comes to light in Allie’s search for answers, Dale’s courage and persistence may be just what Allie needs to carry on her grandmother’s legacy and keep her own dreams alive.
The Discovery by Dan Walsh
He inherits the house of a legend—and the secrets that lived inside.
In an old wooden box in a Charleston estate lies the story of a lifetime.
Was the greatest story his grandfather ever told one he kept to himself?
When Michael Warner inherits his grandfather’s historic Charleston home, he steps into more than just a beautiful house—he steps into the shadow of a legend. Gerard Warner was a literary icon, known for his brilliance on the page and his silence off it. He rarely gave interviews, avoided the spotlight, and took his private life to the grave.
Or so everyone thought.
While settling into the home where Gerard penned his greatest works, Michael stumbles upon something unexpected: a forgotten manuscript—one that doesn’t read like any of the others. It’s a love story set in wartime, full of passion, secrets, and sacrifice. But as Michael keeps reading, he begins to suspect there’s more at stake than a lost novel. What he discovers will challenge everything he thought he knew—about his grandfather, his family, and even himself.
The Discovery is a rich, emotionally layered novel about the cost of secrets, the unexpected ways the past can reach into the present, and the sacrifices made to forge a love that lasts a lifetime.
Some secrets don’t fade with time—they are just waiting to be discovered.
