About The Book

When eleven-year-old Daisy arrives in the quiet lakeside town of Holland Lake in search of a fresh start, she’s drawn to an old wooden dock stretching into the water. There, she meets Matt, an adventurous boy who leads her to a summer of discovery, where childhood afternoons become the memories that last a life time.

Through first crushes, first kisses, heartbreaks, and dreams of the future, Daisy and Matt build a love that seems destined to last forever. But just when forever seems within their grasp, a single night changes everything. Suddenly, Daisy faces and impossible choice: remain in the town with the man she’s always loved or leave it all behind for a fresh start in Hawaii with Zack, the kind, devoted surfer who offers a further free from heartbreak.

As long-buried truths being to surface, Daisy myst decide whether love is measured by perfect circumstances or by the courage to stand beside someone when life becomes unimaginably complicated.

Tender, lyrical, and deeply moving, The Dock is a sweeping love story about first love, impossible choices, forgiveness, family, and the quiet places that shape us forever.
