Bend to the Tempest

From Amazon #1 bestselling author Michael Lindley; an emotional story of love, betrayal and bitter compromise set in 1920's Atlanta and a remote village on the northern Gulf Coast of Florida.

When a woman from his past makes a surprising return during his 85th birthday celebration in the remote village of Grayton Beach, Florida, Mathew Coulter reflects back on his early years, the heartbreak of lost loves, bitter memories of family betrayal and a young and gifted blind girl who would change the course of his life forever.

In 1918, Mathew lies recovering in a Paris hospital from a devastating wound in a battle in the French countryside. His nurse, Celeste, will not only tend his wounds but also capture his heart, but her ties to her local French village and a soldier still lost in the conflict of the Great War will be the first in his life's most difficult choices.

Returning to his home in America during the tumultuous years of Prohibition, Mathew ultimately finds new love, but a bitter betrayal and his ruthless family's ties to the liquor trade in 1920's Atlanta force him to leave and seek refuge in a friend's remote cottage in a small Florida beach town. He meets a young blind girl, Melanee Dalton, who will lead him on a journey that may be the final salvation for her wayward mother and Mathew's own haunted soul.

The story of BEND TO THE TEMPEST plays out across the war-torn cities and villages of France during World War I, the homes of the wealthy and corrupt in Prohibition-era Atlanta, and the peaceful, yet dangerous shores of a breathtaking village on the Gulf Coast of Florida.
