Trails in the Sand is Southern drama on the scale of Anne Rivers Siddons, where family secrets lie as deep as a mangrove swamp, skeletons molder in the woodwork, and the honeyed smiles of Southern belles mask seething resentment. -Clare Chu, Amazon top 100 reviewer

Zick’s latest novel is totally different than Live from the Road. I loved that one, but her latest is more serious, more “today’s headlines” and more drama that shares a contemporary love story like no other I’ve read… It is a novel that covers three generations and shows the dark side of things learned through and from our ancestors. An important book in several ways. -Glenda Bixler, Book Reader’s Heaven


From the Author

During the real-life drama of BP’s DeepWater Horizon oil spill, I served as a public relations director for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. I handled the media for the sea turtle nest relocation project that took place during the summer of 2010. At the same time, I was beginning a new relationship with a lost love from thirty-five years ago and was in the process of moving to Pittsburgh. Two weeks prior to the oil spill, twenty-nine miners were killed in a coal mine explosion in West Virginia, just a few hours from where I was moving. It all fell into place to write about the oil spill, the coal mine disaster, and a family facing disaster. Trails in the Sand explores  the efforts to restore and redeem what has been damaged.
