Can their love survive? Or are the challenges they face insurmountable? Return to the Outer Banks House carries readers back to 1875 to answer these questions and explore the ebb and flow of a rocky marriage set against the enchanting North Carolina shoreline.
The strong bonds that once held them together have eroded over time, and their marriage threatens to unravel, particularly when relationships from the past and ambitions for the future find their way into the mismatched couple\'s present predicament.
But now it\'s seven years later, and Return to the Outer Banks House finds the couple married and in hard times-riddled by poverty, miscarriages, and weakened family ties.
When we last saw Abigail Sinclair and Ben Whimble at the close of The Outer Banks House, they\'d overcome their differences in life stations and defied convention to begin their new life together.
