Review Quotes
"At its heart, a tender love story, but The Sands of Roanoke Island is also an encompassing novel about Outer Banks families and their small-town community that rides the swells of tourism and storms in the distinctive shadow of the Lost Colony. Manteo has never looked lovelier or more heart-warming." -DIANN DUCHARME, author of The Outer Banks House trilogy and Chasing Eternity.
