Come Back To Bethany - eBook

Come Back To Bethany connects the lives of three young girls living in Bethany Beach, Delaware during three different centuries. Beth-ani, a ten year old Lenni Lenape Indian girl who lives in a bark hut near the Salt Pond in 1681, is struggling to overcome the recent death of her mother from a winter's disease. Carrie, a thirteen year old girl from Pittsburgh, PA is adjusting to life in a leg brace after a 1908 trolley car accident. Alexa, a ten year old from Wilmington, DE spends weeks in Bethany in 2004 at a cottage built by her great-grandparents whenever the house is not rented out to others.

The story tells how three very different young girls are touched by the constancy of life near the sea -- in horseshoe crabs, beach plum bushes, and seashells -- and by the majesty of the Atlantic Ocean itself. All three come to see the rainbow in the wave and vow to always come back to Bethany.
