Two-year-old Carrie Morton was found alone in a cabin behind the man the county sheriff had just shot to death. Although a game warden reported seeing a woman at the cabin, the woman was never found. The woman's identity and disappearance remained the subject of rumors that followed Carrie as she moved through a series of foster homes on her way to adulthood.
After Carrie left her last foster home, she remained in Sanstone, living a life without close ties to anyone. Her treasured moments were on a small section of the beach where she could be alone and escape her reality.
Carrie's comfortable and uneventful life was shattered when a stalker forced her to confront her past.
REVIEWS
”Wow! Once I started reading, I couldn't stop until I reached the end. The mystery of Carrie's past keeps you wanting to read more. I like that the story takes place locally.”

”The Sand Dancer is an interesting story that parallels the current interest in seeking information about one's family history. I like the visual of a young girl dancing with surf as it washes away her toe prints. The relationship with the townspeople is not what she perceives. She reunites with Frank and the mystery of her past begins to unspool.”

”This is a mystery within a mystery. Who is Carrie? Who and why is the man in the hat following her? What happened years ago in that isolated cabin in the woods? I am looking forward to finding the answers. Such intriguing characters.”
