The Wait

by Joanne DeMaio

First published 2022

In the New England coastal town of Stony Point, anticipation fills the salt air. Residents find themselves suspended between what was and what might be. Some await responses to questions that will change everything. Others hope for friends to return or strangers to arrive. A few prepare to take risks they have postponed too long. At the center of it all sits a weathered table by the shore, set for a mysterious dinner guest who may never come. As twilight settles over the beach, each person in town confronts their own version of waiting. The question becomes whether patience will reward them or whether they must stop waiting and act. This fifteenth installment of The Seaside Saga explores how hope and uncertainty intertwine in a community where everyone wants something just beyond their grasp.
