Leaving Lavender Tides

Balancing spiritual themes with a compelling mystery can be tricky. I'm curious how Colleen Coble approached this to keep both elements engaging.

The characters' struggles with past mistakes and seeking redemption made me reflect on my own relationships. Were there moments that resonated strongly with others?

The town felt so vivid and alive, almost like a character itself. I wonder if the author drew from real places or created it entirely from imagination.
