In a debut novel brimming with warmth and wit, Terri DuLong spins a tale of new beginnings, old friends, and lives forever bound…

A New Englander born and bred, the last place Sydney Webster expects to find herself starting over is on an island off the coast of Florida. Yet here she is in Cedar Key, trying to pull herself together after her husband's untimely death—and the even more untimely revelation of his gambling addiction. Bereft of her comfortable suburban life, Syd takes shelter at a college pal’s bed and breakfast, where amidst the bougainvillea blossoms and the island's gentle rhythms, a plan begins to form…

Syd never considered the possibility of turning her passion for spinning and knitting into something more than a hobby, but when the unique composition of her wool draws attention, a door is opened—the first among many. Yet even as she ventures out of her comfort zone, Syd finds herself stepping into the embrace of a community rich with love, laughter, friendship...and secrets. And as long-hidden truths are revealed, Syd faces a choice: spin a safety net—or spin decidedly forward and never look back...

“Poignant, absorbing, humorous...a debut that tugs at the heart.” —Sophia Nash, author of A Dangerous Beauty

“Captures the essence of what often lies in each of our hearts. Don’t miss it!” --J.L. Miles, author of Cold Rock River

Reviewer:
     Spinning Forward is a coming of age tale for a woman who thought her life was settled. Debut novelist Ms. Dulong conveys the story of Sydney, a woman with a grown daughter already out of the house and a controlling husband who has left her with a mountain of debt and nowhere to go. It is a story of survival and reckoning with one's own decisions within their life and how it has affected those around them. Just when the reader thinks they are getting a handle of the storyline, it changes and brings in new characters that add spice and laughter to the mix. A beautifully written story that shows how much a person can do if they learn to trust in themselves as well as lean on a friend from time to time. Danielle Reviewer for Coffee Time Romance & More
