Here Beside the Rising Tide
LOVE, FUN, SUN, AND . . . SEA MONSTERS?
As a lonely ten-year-old resident of Pearl Island, Jenni Farrow befriends Timmy Caruso, and together they enjoy a glorious summer of swimming, fireworks, and carnival rides. (Not to mention rescuing a strange sea creature from a tide pool.) Then, one late summer day, Timmy disappears.
Thirty years later, Jenni—now Jenn Lanaro, known as bestselling author, Jenn Lamour, of the Philipia Bay action-romance series—is desperate to escape the fatigue of her career and her soon-to-be-ex-husband.
With her Pokémon-obsessed children in tow, Jenn rents a summer house on Pearl Island. But shortly after she arrives, a boy emerges from the nighttime sea. His name, he says, is Timmy Caruso. He’s ten years old. And he’s on mission to save the world.
In the days that follow, Jenn grapples with work deadlines, her own spirited children, the mysterious boy from the sea, and her burgeoning interest in a very sexy contractor. But when alarming events unfold along the coast—shark attacks, tidal waves, a proliferation of sugar-addicted sea creatures, and a terror out in the deeper water—she wonders if, just maybe, the young boy knows what he’s doing after all.
“Emily Jane is a storyteller unbound by genre, and this beachy romance, family drama, sci-fi adventure shines with all the magic and mystery of a long-ago childhood summer. Enchanting and delightful, Here Beside the Rising Tide will have you hooked.”

It will poke you right in the heart while you're still in the middle of stuffing your face with gummy bears. You haven't read anything like this in a long time, I promise you."

"Here Beside the Rising Tide is a fascinating read that grabs you from the very first page and straddles a few genres in order to create a story that's unique and utterly heartwarming. It's a little bit women's fiction, a little bit Stranger Things, but it gave me the hopeful, aching sense of wonder that I got from watching ET…Loved every page!"

"This book is a witty yet comforting reminder that, in a world as utterly absurd as ours, none of us are winning Mom of the Year. Jane's top-notch writing as well as her authentic depiction of children were simply icing on the cake. I was cheering for Jenn from beginning to end."
