DOCKSIDE
“Rich with life lessons, nod-along moments and characters with whom readers can easily relate…
Delightful and wise, Wiggs’s latest shines.”
—Publishers Weekly
“A wonderfully written, beautiful love story with a few sharp edges and a bunch of marvelously imperfect characters, this is one of Wiggs’s finest efforts to date. It’s sure to leave an indelible impression on even the most jaded reader.”
