With the Enduring Tides

A story of resilience, redemption, and friendships that endure.

On the rugged Oregon coast in the early 1900s, the lives of a group of women intertwine through their shared pioneering spirit and the steadfast presence of Mary Gerritse. Struggling with her daughter Belle's desire to live with her grandparents, Mary discovers her own mother facing illness and her father hiring a caretaker with a troubled past. Despite the tensions, Mary leaves Belle with her grandparents, weighed down by guilt and uncertainty. When past secrets bubble over into trouble in the present, Mary's identity is shaken.

As Mary seeks to heal her family and herself, her friends offer comfort even as they face challenges of their own. Jewell explores questions about her identity, Henrietta manages a homestead, Virginia seeks refuge from an abusive situation, and Olivia faces the heartache of lost love. Together the women must find encouragement in each other and refuge in the faith that brings strength amid great uncertainty.
